Oh, who can light on as happy a shore All the world oer, all the world oer! ,LEARLY the words rang out on the afternoon air, as Kate Sturgis, in her picturesque boat, rounded one of the many curves of a small lake some twenty or thirty miles from Boston. The voice must have possessed a charm, if one could judge from the face of the noble I rish setter seated in the bow, with gaze riveted upon his mistress as if loath to lose a syllable from her lips. It was certainly sweet enough to arouse the ambition of a rival, and from the thick woods, guarding the lake like an austere sentinel, so bewitching an echo floated back, that the girl rested on her oar to listen, while Major turned with a jealous growl, his loyal soul illy brooking the impertinence.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Kate Sturgis, a young woman who has invited her cousins to a summer retreat in her quaint, lakeside home following a season in Washington. The story is set some time before the present day, in the era of horse and carriage. Kate has created a vision of summer bliss where they can embrace the freedom of nature, far from the demands of society, and reconnect as they did during their carefree childhoods. To Kate and her cousinsâ dismay, the arrival of two young men from the city threatens their plans for a tranquil summer. The once familiar landscape is subtly altered as the young women confront their expectations of themselves and each other. The author explores the nuances of female relationships, the challenges of balancing societal norms with personal desire, and the unforeseen impact newcomers can have on a close-knit group. Ultimately, this book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of friendship, identity, and the pursuit of happiness.
