Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rod and Gun in Canada, Vol. 22: September, 1920
And that's big enough for me, Melissa, Peter's wife, had replied, snuggling up against her big hus band's side - the one nearest his heart. From his remark and her answer it is easy to imagine what sort of a man Will Ogden, their son, was - dreamy, quiet, a lover of the pond, the hills, the creek, adept in trouting with the fairly-flung fly. Lover, too, of So lace Green after he came home from fighting the Dons in '98. And she was just what her Christian name implied - a solace to man, pretty, soft in speech and manners, helpful, tactful, a woman to inspire a man to do his best. Their children, in their turn, grew up healthy, red of cheek, with sun-glinted eyes, merry ways, their living all shot through with little tender whimsies of speech and action. Each married and moved away - but one. For, nice as the Ogden farm was, it would not, by sheer farming, support a large, ample brood. Yet no matter how and where the Ogden boys and girls fared - and they fared well, being industrious and persevering - they carried with them laughter, little bursts of song, smiles, the best of feeling.
