Источник: He printed the title, "Dark House," and underscored it with three pen strokes. He was following his usual regimen of rising early, writing most of the morning, then spending the rest of the day in leisurely work about the place, riding, or whatever suited his fancy. In the late afternoon he and Estelle would have a beforedinner drink on the east gallery. As they sat there one day Estelle looked out across the grass to the bushes, warm in the afternoon sunlight, and to the sunken garden in the deep shade beyond. "Bill," she said, "does it ever seem to you that the light in August is different from any other time of the year?" He rose from his chair. "That's it," he said, and walked into the house. Soon he returned without explanation. Knowing her taciturn husband, Estelle said nothing. He had gone to his worktable, struck out "Dark House" and substituted "Light in August."
