Excerpt from A Quaker Girl of NantucketIN Nantucket town, on one of the streets which is more properly restrained, more certain than others where it wants to go, stands a house more ample than its fellows, and farther back from the cobble-stone pavement, so as to give it a few feet of grass plot in front, when other houses stand flush upon the sidewalk. It is a drab house, well furnished with drab' shutters, inside and out, whereas most of the Nantucket houses have no shutters at all.These differences give it an honorable distino tion. It is a foregone concession that the people who live there are to be very highly regarded.Three generations of Swains had passed quiet lives under the roof of this exceptional dwelling, and the fourth was represented by one little girl, Miriam Swain, some twenty Odd years ago.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
