MARBLEVerily it is one thing to have cash and another to know how to spend
it. The man ought to die a violent death that put it into people's heads
to try to make cherished, beloved, sacred homes out of such cold, ghostly,
unfeeling stuff as marble--a material which God intended for only gravestones.
You can build a house out of it, and put a door-plate on it, and call
it a dwelling, but it isn't any use--it is bound to look like a mausoleum,
after all. Stewart's house looks like a stately tomb, now, and after it
is finished it will never look entirely natural without a hearse in front
of it.
