Présentation de l'éditeur

The sketches included in this volume were written during a residence in the South, which has embraced the greater part of the past six years. As far as they go they record real impressions; but they can never give the inward charm of that beautiful land which the writer has learned to love, and from which she now severs herself with true regret. Two of these sketches have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, four in Appletons Journal, and one each in Scribner s Monthly, The Galaxy, Lippincott s Monthly, and Harper s Magazine. C. F. W.

Présentation de l'éditeur

"KEEPER of what? Keeper of the dead. Well, it is easier to keep the dead than the living; and as for the gloom of the thing, the living among whom I have been lately were not a hilarious set." John Rodman sat in the doorway and looked out over his domain. The little cottage behind him was empty of life save himself alone.
