The Chimney Swallow

Marian lived in the city. One summer, she went to visit her grandfather in the country. He lived in a low, old farmhouse among the Berkshire hills. She was delighted with everything she saw and wished that she could stay there always.

There was an old attic filled with curious things. She liked to play “house” with them and often pretended that she was her own great-grandmother as she arranged them around in circles and squares to correspond to the rooms of a house.
