Excerpt from The Iron WomanHer foreboding was tempered by a giggle and by the deepening dimple in her cheek, but all the same she sighed with a sort of impersonal regret at the prospect of any unpleasantness. It would be too bad if I got mad; wouldn't it? She said thoughtfully. The others looked at one another in consternation. They knew so Well what it meant to have Elizabeth mad, that Nan~ nie Maitland, the Oldest of the little group, said at once, helplessly, Well.Nannie was always helpless with Elizabeth, just as She was helpless with her half-brother, Blair, though She was ten and Elizabeth and Blair were only eight, but how could a little girl like Nannie be anything but help less before a brother whom She adored, and a wonderful being like Elizabeth - Elizabeth!

“Margaret Deland gives us the rare pleasure of going back to Old Chester with Doctor Lavendar, Willie King and many other familiar figures. The problem which ‘An Old Chester Secret’ presents is that of the conflict between a jealous and passionate love for an unacknowledged child and a conventional and lifelong dread of the scandal which the truth would precipitate.” -Publishers Weekly, Volume 98, Part 1, July 3, 1920 An Old Chester Secret is the story of the growth of a mother’s love for the child she had disowned. How this love came, all unbidden; how the child, grown to a splendid manhood, sat in judgment on his parents, and how he weighed their belated feeling against the love, which gave everything and asked nothing, of ‘little Miss Lydia,’ make a story as dramatic and appealing as any Mrs. Deland has ever written. In these stories Mrs. Deland has immortalized the little Pennsylvania town of Manchester where she was born. They comprise a mild and smooth running tale of village life with some deepening of interest around the central figures of Miss Lydia, the gallant "little wet hen," and the boy Johnny, whom she mothers when his parents forsake him.
