Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Great Match, and Other Matches
Dornfield. Milltown had the money, and Dorn field the aristocracy. This was universally ac knowledged. The village papers Of Milltown Often amused themselves about what they termed the blue blood of Dornfield. Whenever a repte sentative to the general court was to be elected, the two towns were brought into active rivalry; for there was but one representative for the two, and each strove to elect one of their own towns men. The cry Of blue blood and kid-glove aristo cracy, raised by the partisan papers Of Milltown generally decided the day; and the manufactur ing population elected a Milltownite, although no one wore kid gloves in Dornfield. The ministers in Milltown preached for the Universal Church, and against the sin Of exclusiveness. The min ister at Dornfield held up the dangers incident to making money, and prayed that their neigh bors at Milltown might remember that where there was the greater temptation to sin, there was also the greater reward.
