Excerpt from The Story GirlBut the Spirit Of the Story Girl's yet unuttered re mark was thrilling in our hearts that morning, as the train pulled out of Toronto. We were faring forth on a long road, and, though we had some idea what would be at the end of it, there was enough glamour of the unknown about it to lend a wonderful charm to our speculations concerning it.' We were delighted at the thought Of seeing father's Old home, and living among the haunts of his boyhood. He had talked SO much to us about it, and described its scenes so often and so minutely, that he had inspired us with some Of his own deep-seated affection for it - an affection that had never waned in all his years of exile. We had a vague feeling that we, somehow, belonged there, in that cradle of our family, though we had never seen it. We had always looked forward eagerly to the promised day when father would take us down home, to the Old house with the spruces behind it and the famous King orchard before it - When we might ramble in Uncle Stephen's Walk, drink from the deep well with the Chinese roof over it, stand on the Pulpit Stone, and eat apples from our birthday trees.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
