Lost Among The Angels (A Mercy Allcutt Book) - Plot & Excerpts
As I carefully positioned my high-crowned felt cloche hat and stuck a pin in to hold it to my neat bun, a trickle of perspiration ran down my cheek. My sister frowned at me. “You need to get your hair bobbed. I don’t know why you persist in keeping your hair long. Bobbed hair is ever so much cooler.” This was undoubtedly true, but I hadn’t had my hair cut in my entire life. “Mother and Father would disown me if I had my hair bobbed,” I said. “Mother and Father aren’t here.” Even as she stated the obvious, my heart soared. I told it to stop doing that. Such behavior on its part was extremely unfilial and in very bad taste. Nevertheless, Clovilla, my sister, had a good point. Mother and Father were on their figurative thrones in Cape Cod (this being the summertime and all), Massachusetts, and I, Mercedes Louise Allcutt (named after a fabulously wealthy aunt and an engraved silver tea service, although the latter fact is seldom mentioned in the family) was here.
