Synopsis

Excerpt from A Daughter of Dale

It was a plain old place, not comparable in the eyes of the architects with the other old mansion the professor had inherited up in the country, half way from Ashley to Riverton. But the clap boards were those Zenas Hare had put on, the paneling of the parlor Squire Henry Hare imported from the old country, along with the cloudy glass in the windows, on which three of the Revolution's heroes and its greatest traitor had scratched their initials with one of their hostess's diamonds. From its front door Archibald Hare rode away to follow Washington; to the same door came the professor's wife in all the bloom of her beauty; thither they carried the dead son, while baby Barbara in Hannah's arms laughed and played with the tassels of the carriage curtains. It was a plain old place, but Professor Hare loved it as a part of his own self.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from A Daughter of Dale There are not many men in America who have achieved more in their various professions than the placid old gentleman the undergraduates called Denny Hare. He was the comrade of twenty feats of scholarly exploration with the famous Germans or Frenchmen who came to Dale each winter; the great foreign societies wrote him their thanks for accepting their elections; there were only four universities in this country whose honorary degrees he cared to receive. The honors of his long life and its splendid activities were what the world liked to talk to Denny Hare about, thinking so to please him.
