It was not long after sunrise, and Stephen Waterman, fresh from his dip in the river, had scrambled up the hillside from the hut in the alder-bushes where he had made his morning toilet.An early ablution of this sort was not the custom of the farmers along the banks of the Saco, but the Waterman house was hardly a stone's throw from the water, and there was a clear, deep swimming-hole in the Willow Cove that would have tempted the busiest man, or the least cleanly, in York County. Then, too, Stephen was a child of the river, born, reared, schooled on its very brink, never happy unless he were on it, or in it, or beside it, or at least within sight or sound of it.… (meer)
Fairly short. Readable if one has nothing better to do, but there was too much that didn't interest me about the moving of the logs down the stream, and I didn't care that much for Rose's grandparents' querulous ways. Rose is not quite twenty, and is the beauty of the region. She doesn't think too deeply about things. When Stephen, who has loved her for as long as they've known each other, keeps proposing marriage, she finally says yes because she is convinced of his goodness and kindness and she knows it would be nice to live with someone like that. She's fond of him, but in a pretty mild way. And she can't help but pine just a little bit for the opportunity of spreading her wings and living somewhere exciting. All she's known has been this rural area, and she's convinced that things might be better elsewhere. When the opportunity comes, how will she react? How will Stephen react? Will she grow up and learn to be grateful for what she's got? ( )
unwittingly chose another book about loggers and log drives, this one is also a romance story. Writer was well known for this genre around the turn of the 20th century. ( )
