Excerpt from Church Street: Stories of American Village LifeNow, while I have been talking, we have come almost unawares to the first house on the farther side of our village. Later we will enter its hospitable gate, but at present I only bid you notice its stone walls gray with age, that have stood since the days of Wash ington. Perhaps in the dusk, if you but listen, you may hear the tramp, tramp of his soldiers' feet as they march past. Let us glance into the window. Do you see in the lamplight, seated beside the table, with hair like driven snow, a stately old lady? She is Miss Nancy Thompson. Later we will take tea with her and hear the traditions of our Village, but now we will go forward until we reach the squire's house.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
