Excerpt from Purple and Homespun: A Novel Turning along the thoroughfare, the green and foliage of which fronted the grounds of the Executive Building, he passed the gateway and went Slowly up the circular walk. Here, too, Washington had been transformed. The home of the presidents magnified itself. It was no longer a squat structure of blank front relieved by a cupola-covered entrance that looked like a magnified parrot's cage - it was Corinthian, Romanesque, Greco in outline, beautiful and chaste in design, and of noble proportions; a tabernacle of republican simplicity. How admirably it contrasted with the gaudy and costly pile near at hand, dedicated to the uses of the army and navy He entered. The keepers at the door were lavish of smile; they crowded forward, beaming upon him. He was used to this, but now they beamed anew with a Senatorial welcome that was broader and deeper than he had known before; it held a significance which a mere congressman could never know. This was not a place where knowledge of him was wanting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
