In the flaunting yellow house on the hill the widow and daughters of
the late Marmaduke Splurge, Esq., railroad-director and real-estate
broker, fondled and hated each other. Mrs. Marmaduke was a
well-preserved woman, stylish, worldly-minded, and weak. Miss
Josephine, her eldest, was handsome, patronizing, _passee_, and a
sentimental fool; Miss Adelaide, who came next, was handsome,
eccentric, malicious, and sly; and Miss Madeline, the youngest, was
handsome, distinguished-looking, intellectual, passionate, and proud.

Mrs. Marmaduke's heart was set on marrying her daughters
"advantageously," and she gave all of her narrow mind to that thankless
department. Josephine insisted on a romantic attachment, and pursued a
visionary spouse with all the ardor and obstinacy of first-rate
stupidity. Adelaide had the weakness to hate Josephine, the shrewdness
to fear Madeline, and the viciousness to despise her mother; she
skilfully and diligently devoted herself to the thwarting of the
family. Madeline waited, only waited,--with a fierceness so dangerously
still that it looked like patience,--hated her insulting bondage, but
waited, like Samson between the pillars upon which the house of Dagon
stood, resolved to free herself, though she dragged down the edifice
and were crushed among the wreck.

Mrs. Marmaduke talked tediously of the trials and responsibilities of
conscientious mothers who have grown-up daughters to provide for, was
given to frequent freshets of tears, consumed many "nervous pills" of
the retired-clergyman-whose-sands-of-life-have-nearly-run-out sort, and
netted bead purses for the Select Home for Poor Gentlemen's Daughters.
Josephine let down her back hair dowdily, partook recklessly of poetry

elbow,--and was threatened with spinal curvature and spiritualism.

 In the flaunting yellow house on the hill the widow and daughter of 
 the belated Marmaduke Splurge, Esq. , railroad - director and veridical - estate of the realm 
 broker, fondled and hated each early. Mrs. Marmaduke was a 
 well - preserve woman, fashionable, worldly - apt, and weak. Miss 
 Josephine, her eldest, was big, patronizing, _ passee _, and a 
 sentimental fool; Miss Adelaide, who come next, was handsome,

 stupidity. Adelaide had the weakness to hate Josephine, the shrewdness 
 to fear Madeline, and the ferociousness to contemn her mother; she 
 skillfully and diligently devoted herself to the thwarting of the 
 family. Madeline waited, only waited,--with a fierceness so perilously 
 still that it look like patience,--hated her insulting bondage, but 
 waited, like Samson between the pillars upon which the family of Dagon 
 stood, resolved to free herself, though she drag down the edifice 
 and were crushed among the wreck.
