Alexander, Nannette Lewis and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) A LITTLE MAID OF MASSACHUSETTS COLONY BY ALICE TURNER CURTIS AUTHOR OF A LITTLE MAID OF PROVINCE TOWN A LITTLE MAID OF NARRAGANSETT BAY ILLUSTRATED BY WUANITA SMITH THE PENN PUBLISHING COMPANY PHILADELPHIA 1915 COPYRIGHT 1914 BY THE PENN PUBLISHING COMPANY [Illustration: "A WONDERFUL THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN"] Introduction The first Anne Nelson story was "A Little Maid of Province Town," which told how the little Cape Cod girl's father went away to fight for the colonies, how she went to live with the Stoddards, how she escaped perils from Indians and wolves, made an unexpected trip to Boston, and carried an important message for the colonial army. The girls and boys who made acquaintance in that book with Anne and with Amanda and Amos Cary will be glad to read here how Amos won his heart's desire,--to go a long voyage from the harbor of Province Town; Anne's journey with the Indians, her imprisonment in the house in the woods, and her escape; how she and Rose Freeman discovered "Aunt Anne Rose" on the happy trip in Boston, and how Anne helped to capture an English privateer, will hold the attention of young readers, and, incidentally, show them something of the times and history of Revolutionary days in New England. Contents I. AMANDA'S MISTAKE 9 II. ANNE DECIDES 22 III. A NEW FRIEND 32 IV. WITH THE MASHPEES 48 V. AT BREWSTER 61 VI. AMANDA'S CONSCIENCE
