The Earth And All It Holds”

by V.J. Banis (An Extract)

Not even the Barbary Coast was immune to the special glow of Christmas. Indeed, the tawdry and often tragic circumstances in which its inhabitants lived seemed to lend a special poignancy to the season. Children begged a few pennies ‘for the sake of the dear Lord’, and woman who seldom ventured out in the light of day could be seen bustling from shop to stall, their arms loaded with gaily wrapped packages and their faces aglow with childlike pleasure. From the churches further uptown the bells pealed their special songs, and hardy bands of carolers invaded the saloons themselves, often leaving with their hats filled with coins.

Jolene found herself looking back with awe on the events of the past twelve months. It had been a year ago New Year’s Eve, at her parents’ house, that she and Philip had announced their engagement. How long ago it seemed!
