Excerpt: ... was aught of interest either to church or town in the simple neighborly kindness. It is a fact-though Dan at this time, would not have admitted it, even to himself-that the hours spent in the garden, with Denny enthroned upon the big rock, and Deborah calling an occasional cheery word from the cottage, were by far the most pleasant hours of the day.

It's not many that do be layin' awake all the night waitin' for the first crack o' day, so they can get up to somebody else's work fer thim."
