“The thirteen stories that make this volume are excellent reading. Most of them are set in the kitchens and dooryards of New England houses; nearly all are enveloped in the young green of spring, and every one deals with a human predicament.”—Nation.
“There is no abatement of cleverness and there is an increase of rational motive, which both go to make a heartily agreeable volume.”

“Those to whom the stories are new have a rare pleasure before them. Those who have lingered lovingly over the tales as they appeared in the magazines will rejoice in their possession in permanent form.”
