temper, the
quick dying out of wrath.... We call this a well-written story,
interesting alike through its romance and its glimpses into another
life than ours."--_Detroit Free Press_.

"Simple in all its situations, the story is worked up in that
touching and quaint strain which never grows wearisome no matter
how often the lights and shadows of love are introduced. It rings
true, and does not tax the imagination."--_Boston Herald_.

"Which one of us, whether afoot, awheel, on horseback, or in
comfortable carriage, has not whiled away the time by glancing
about? How many of us, however, have taken in the details of what
charms us? We see the flowering fields and budding woods, listen to
