Miss Theodosia's Heartstrings

Annie Hamilton Donnell (1862-? ) wrote Rebecca Mary (1905), The Very Small Person (1906), Glory and the Other Girl (1907), Miss Theodosia's Heartstrings (1916), Gloria and Treeless Street, Four Girls and a Compact and Three Young Knights. "The last utterance was Miss Theodosia Baxter's. She was a woman of few words at all times where few sufficed. One sufficed now. The child on her front porch, with a still childlier child on the small area of her knees, was not a creature of few words, but now extreme surprise limited speech. She was stricken with brevity, - stricken is the word-to match Miss Theodosia's."
