Excerpt from Retribution: A Tale of the Canadian Border
Looking down the river, on the left may be clearly descried the blue line of the Canadian shore, and further on the right, though soft ened by distance, the rolling landscape of the American coast. A few gauzelike clouds drift along the azure expanse overhead; and in the river below, reflected as if in a mirror, tremble the uncertain images of the earth and sky. Now and then a gray gull or two will take a circling flight over the sleeping waters, or a swallow will shatter for a moment the inverted landscape in the river's quivering world as she dips one rapid wing on her passage from shore to shore.
