A Top-Floor Idyl is a charming love story between disillusioned novelist David and his fresh, enigmatic friend, Frieda Long. Excerpt: "I smiled at my friend Gordon, the distinguished painter, lifting my glass and taking a sip of the table d'hôte claret, which the Widow Camus supplies with her famed sixty-five cent repast."
To the village of Carcajou came a young man in the spring. The last patches of snow were disappearing from under the protecting fronds of trees bursting into new leaf. From the surface of the lakes the heavy ice had melted and broken, and still lay in shattered piles on the lee shores. Black-headed chickadees, a robin or two, and finally swallows had appeared, following the wedges of geese returning from the south on their way to the great weedy shoals of James' Bay. The young man had brought with him a couple of heavy packs and some tools, but this did not suffice. He entered McGurn's store, after hesitating between the Hudson's Bay Post and the newer building. A newcomer he was, and something of a tenderfoot, but he made no pretence of knowing it all. A gigantic Swede he addressed gave him valued advice, and Sophy McGurn, daughter of the proprietor, joined in, smilingly.
