Opis: Half-Hours With the Best American Authors, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) - Morris Charles

Excerpt from Half-Hours With the Best American Authors, Vol. 3

[The short stories which Mrs. Cooke has been for years contributing to our leading magazines are among the best specimens extant of the American humorous tale, and for happy handling of the New England dialect, and versatility in character-drawing, are of unsurpassed excellence. Under her maiden name of Rose Terry she formerly published a volume of poems, of marked merit, from which we have made an extract in a preceding volume. She is a native of West Hartford, Connecticut, where she was born in 1827. The story whose concluding portions we give opens with a description of Squire Paine's masterful way of "managing" his wife into the grave, and his high respect for the "Golden Rewl" as applied to others, - not to himself. Miss Roxy succeeds Mrs. Paine as manager of the household.]

In the library of Squire Larkin's time the next hour was spent by Samuel Paine and Roxy Keep in a passage of arms. He was determined to secure Roxy to manage his establishment on his own terms; and she was willing to be secured, but it must be on her terms; and, being a tailoress, she carried the day.
