Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from When Carey Came to Town
S cott, the butler, had made himself com f ortable in front of the library fire. Scott preferred the library at all times, but most especially on those evenings when his wife was in the kitchen, having stopped by on her way home from prayer-meeting. Mrs. Scott held a high place in her husband's esteem, but she had a wearying fondness for repeating as much as she could remember of the sermon.
Scott would not have presumed to sit in the library or any other room of his former em ployer, that well-known ornament of the House of Lords; but while he - quite f ashion ably - condescended to the using of American dollars, be retained a good, sound British scorn for all else that is not English; for all, that is to say, except Mr. Ward and Mr. William son. Even an English butler must respect Hiram A.; even an English butler must adore the genial Robert.
