Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rodger Latimer's Mistake: A Novel It was a summer evening in the last week of August of 188 - .The inhabitants of the suburban university town of Edgewood, situated on the lake shore, within ten miles of the city of Clinton, had closed their doors and windows against the dense fog, that with the setting of the sun, had rolled down the lake from the north, and enveloped the village. The fog was so heavy that within an hour after it had settled upon the numberless shade trees of the town, they were dripping as though in a rain, and the sidewalks below were wet. The lamps at the street corners could be seen but a short distance, and then only as small circles of luminous fog. The houses loomed up indistinctly and ghost-like, on either side of the wide streets. In some, no light at all could be seen, in others the lamps from within, cast their rays through the translucent mist, increasing the spectral aspect of the dismal night. On a side street, some three squares from the university buildings, stood the house of Professor McVey. There was no fence around his place, and a broad gravel walk led up to the four steps, that ascended to the piazza that ran across the two front rooms, and the hall, and down the south side of the old-fashioned, square, wooden house, that was painted white, and had old-fashioned green blinds to its windows. A large hammock full of pillows, hung across one end of the piazza, and near it was grouped three red lawn chairs, a weather-beaten steamer chair, and a rustic lounge.
