Book Description
Excerpt from A Pixy in Petticoats Then his eyes fell upon a dry sand-spit at the foot of a rock, beneath the thicket of osmunda. Right in the centre appeared the impression of a single footprint. There was no mistake. It was a woman's footprint, in Spite of its ridiculous smallness. There was the deep imprint made by the heel - a half-crown would have covered it. There was the dainty point. Burrough wondered how five pink feminine toes could possibly be compressed within so slight a compass. In fancy Burrough saw the hand which had dropped that piece of paper. He could guess what it was like after looking at that footprint. Give a distinguished paleontologist the fossil bone of some extinct species, and he will proceed to construct and describe the creature by that one bone. In like manner Burrough built up the perfect image of the unknown damsel, who had penetrated into the interior of his little kingdom, and had dared to desecrate it by throwing paper about, by that single tiny footprint in the sand.
