Pidgin, Charles Felton, 1844-1923

"Quincy Adams Sawyer and Mason's Corner Folks A Picture of New England Home Life"

"I counted them to make sure." He sat at the
table and wrote. "Will this do?" he asked: "Miss Bessie White, care of
Borden, Waitt, & Fisher, Boston, Mass.?"
"Oh, thank you so much," said Alice.
At this moment Mandy appeared at the door and announced dinner, and
Quincy had the pleasure of leading Alice to her accustomed seat at the
table.
"I took the liberty while upstairs," said Quincy, "to glance at a book
that was on your bureau entitled, 'The Love of a Lifetime,' Have you
read it?"
"No," replied Alice. "I commenced it the night before I was taken sick."
"I shall be pleased to read it aloud to you," said Quincy.
"I should enjoy listening to it very much," she replied.
So after dinner they returned to the parlor and Quincy read aloud until
the descending sun again sent its rays through the parlor windows to
fall upon Alice's face and hair, and Quincy thought to himself how happy
he should be if the fair girl who sat beside him ever became the love of
his lifetime.
Alice finally said she was tired and must have a rest. Quincy called
Mandy and she went to her room.
