Excerpt from Hitherto: A Story of Yesterdays Outside the town, all up and down the river, lay the beau tiful farming region. Wagons drove into the streets and down to the water edge, twice and thrice a week, bringing country produce to the freight-boats that plied back and forth along this artery that took up and distributed the nourish ment of a great country-side, of which a growing city, twenty five miles away, was like the pulsing heart. Every Saturday the wagon from Hathaway Farm came, and stopped on its way at our door. There was the weekly paper and perhaps a letter at the office, these were to be inquired for; and there was our butter, which we always had of Mrs. Hathaway, and very likely some fruit or other kindly sending, - at least a message to Aunt Ildy. Mrs. Hathaway and she were old schoolmates and friends, in a one-sided sort of way, like sunshine and cliff. Kindly Mrs. Hathaway was content to do the shining; upon my aunt's side there was grim con stamey and reflective capability. It always seems as if such persons did more in taking than the readier souls in giving. Possibly, measuring by strain of nature, it is counted. So. Certainly, my aunt would accept kind offices from few. It is plain I could not write that novel if I would. I have gone wandering into all these things from just remembering how Lucretia called me in that night out of the lane.
