Synopsis
Excerpt from One Summer's Lessons in Practical Perspective
The stage left me at Captain Peter Stowell's house, where I was to pass my summer vacation. Uncle Peter and Aunt Mercy (as mine host and his good wife were called in town) hastened to the door, and greeted me as cordially as if I had been an old friend, whereas we had never met before.
"I do hope you won't be disappointed in me," said the old woman, smiling, as she ushered me into the parlor, "I never took a boarder in my life, but your friend wrote me that you was so set on comin', that I had to say 'yes.'"
"You hev took a boarder before," said Uncle Peter, with a merry twinkle in his eye; "you've boarded me nigh outer forty year, an' I aint never been disappointed in yer yit."

Product Description
Excerpt from One Summer's Lessons in Practical Perspective
After tea, which Aunt Mercy served in the little parlor, I unpacked my trunk. My beloved sketches and studies I pinned about the parlor wall', to relieve the primness of the room and to give it a home-like air; and then, before nine o'clock, I was sleeping peacefully under the album quilt that adorned the best bed, and that read like a chapter in Chronicles.
