And there'll be the piano, and the stereoscope, and the games, in the parlor.
"We Girls: A Home Story"
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
There was the open piano, and Ruth played a little; there was the stereoscope, and some of the girls looked over the new views of Catskill and the Hudson that Dakie Thayne had given us; there was the table with cards, and we played one game of Old Maid, in which the Old Maid got lost mysteriously into the drawer, and everybody was married; and then Miss Pennington appeared at the door, with her man-servant behind her, and there was an end.
"We Girls: A Home Story"
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
Every object is detached, as in the common miracle of the stereoscope.
