The Old House on the Hill Crimson rays of sunlight speckled through and glittered the autumn leaves‚ making their colorful silhouette seem to dance on the mountain horizon.

For example‚ Nora states‚ "Yes‚ yes‚ as you wish‚ Torvald‚" in response to her husband’s orders (Ibsen‚ 111). As a

Some Notes on “The Custom House” Novel vs. Romance: A novel is concerned with characters and events. It may contain symbols‚ but these are of secondary concern.
