Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Uncle Mary: A Novel for Young or Old
A little group sat upon the hotel ver anda of a small New England town when a stranger came out, and, looking keenly into the faces about him, said genially, IS there room for another? He was of medium height, well proportioned and with a smooth face upon which were written in equal proportions business interest, kind ness and determination. Dark brown hair lightly touched with gray, crowned his erect, well-dressed figure. There were rather inarticulate responses to his question, for it was nobody's special prerogative to Welcome or deny; but, with an air of ready adaptation, the stranger sat easily down.
