Excerpt from Cape Cod Folks Her suspense was brief, for the publisher sat up all night over the manuscript and wrote that he wished to bring it out at once. Miss mclean told him that the names were familiar in the locality she had written about, but he was a young member of the firm and it was his first venture in publishing, as it was hers in novel writ ing: moreover the story was ideal and not intended to be taken literally. The book immediately met with great success, but when it reached the remote hamlet on Cape Cod the people felt themselves sorely aggrieved. This caused the warm-hearted, sensitive writer the keenest pain, she could not forgive herself then nor can she now. But naught was set down in malice, and, as one reader happily expresses it, their deeper experiences are de picted with so gentle a touch that it would seem the sketcher and the sketched might still clasp friendly hands across the narrer neck 0' land.'
