Excerpt from A Famous Victory: Brewster for President
The invisible scene-shifters of this lordly theatre were capricious beyond all reckoning. One minute they rushed forward, a cluster of white houses, look ing, in the far-off clearing like a nestful of eggs; the next they transformed it into a winding stream; into sloping fields green with young oats; into’ a red covered bridge, to the eye no bigger than a mouse trap, alluring the horses, which, no bigger than mice, crawled along the yellow road. Without warning, they shot it all from sight behind a screen of forest; or of boulders down which cascades leaped; or of ragged precipices adorned with lonely evergreens, or clinging birches.
