preface: In "our little Canadian Cousin," my intention has been to tell, in a general way, although with a defined local setting, the story of Canadian home life. To Canadian, home life means not merely sitting at a hugh fireplace o, or brewing and baking in a wide country kitchen, or dancing of an evening, or teaching or sewing; but it means the great outdoor life-sleighing, skating, snow-showing, hunting, canoeing, and , above all, "camping out"- the joys that belong to the vast, uncrowded country, where there is "room to play".

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Our Little Canadian Cousin CHAPTER I. IT was the very first day of the loveliest month in the year. I suppose every month has its defenders, or, at least, its apologists, but June--June in Canada--has surely no need of either. And this particular morning was of the best and brightest. The garden at the back of Mr. Merrithew's house was sweet with the scent of newly blossomed lilacs, and the freshness of young grass. The light green of the elms was as yet undimmed by the dust of summer, and the air was like the elixir of life. Two children sat on the grass under the lilacs, making dandelion chains and talking happily. Jack, a little fair-haired boy of six, was noted for his queer speeches and quaint ideas. His sister Marjorie was just twice his age, but they were closest chums, and delighted in building all sorts of air-castles together. This afternoon, when she had finished a chain of marvellous length, she leant back against the lilac-trees and said, with a sigh of happiness: "Now, Jack, let's make plans!"
