In the sputtering lamplight a thousand lacy valentines shimmered fantastically from ceiling to floor – the gifts of Maxwell children who had discovered long ago Miss Ada’s pleasure in them and each year, giggling and whispering in derisive sympathy, brought to her their pretties when they were done with them, in annual payment of tribute to her who had added so much to the mystery of their young lives, becoming for them, as the years went by, their Valentine Witch. ~ Lillian Smith’s “Strange Fruit”
