Excerpt: ... THE WIFE OF JOHN CARVER L "A Faie wind and a strong! Shame it were that it should be wasted as those before have been! Sit you here, Dame Kate, while I go up to the change-house and speak again to Master Jones, who of a truth is treating us but scurvily in thus delaying. You do not fear to tarry here a short half hour, with Roger Wilder for guard and Elizabeth Tillie for company, -- eh, Kate?" "Surely not, John. Go your ways, and we will spend the time in walking up and down the pier. This same fair wind blows somewhat shrewdly for sitting still." "Nay, if it is cold to thee, sweetheart," replied the husband, a grave man already in middle life, and dressed in the sombre garb of the Separatists, turning back and looking somewhat anxiously into the face of his wife, a young and lovely woman, whose blonde beauty proclaimed her English birth, as her somewhat sad-colored and demure garments did her adhesion to the strait sect of which her husband was a prominent member. And yet, had Dame Katherine Carver allowed herself the aid of all the coquettish appliances distinguishing the toilet of the gayest beauty among the cavaliers, she could hardly have selected head-gear so becoming as the hood of dark purple velvet shaped around her face in the fashion first introduced by Mary the unhappy Queen of Scots, and followed at intervals by the whole female world for almost three hundred years.

And Other Stories of Colonial Times (Classic Reprint), Excerpt from David Alden's Daughter: And Other Stories of Colonial Times Most of the stories collected in this volume were written some years ago and printed in various magazines, - as "Harper's Monthly," "The Atlantic Monthly," the late lamented "Putnam's Monthly," and others, to each of which thanks for the privilege of republication are hereby tendered. At the period when some of them - notably "The Love Life of William Bradford" and "Barbara Standish" - were written, the author was in the first flush of delight and surprise at discovering the wealth of romance imbedded in that "Forefather's Rock" which to many observers still appears a mere mass of granite, stern, cold, and sad. Perhaps the joy of this discovery, working upon a youthful imagination and untried powers, may have induced a certain fermentation of fancy, suggesting rather what "might have been," than what is known to have been.
