Love in a Cloud

Excerpt from Love in a Cloud: A Comedy in Filigree
"No, my dear May, I positively will not bear another word about 'Love in a Cloud.' I am tired to death of the very sound of its stupid name."
"Oh, Mrs. Harbinger," May Calthorpe responded, eagerly defensive, "it is n't a stupid name."

"I have heard nothing but 'Love in a Cloud, ' 'Love in a Cloud, ' until it gives me a feeling of nausea. Nobody talks of anything else."
May nodded her head triumphantly, a bright sparkle in her brown eyes.

Mrs. Harbinger laughed, and bent forward to arrange a ribbon at May's throat.
"I don't care if it is the loveliest book ever written," she responded; "I won't have it stuffed down my throat morning, noon, and night.
