Excerpt from The Little Colonel's Christmas VacationIn the dining-room two long lines of portraits looked down from opposite walls. One was headed by a grim Old earl, and the other by an equally grim old Pilgrim father of Mayflower fame. The two lines joined over the fireplace in the portraits of Madam Chartley's great-grandparents. It was for this great-grandmother, a daughter of the Pilgrims and a beautiful Washington belle, that Warwick Hall had been built; for she refused to give up her native land entirely, even for the son of an earl.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
