De La Pasture, Elizabeth (Bonham) (Mrs. Henry De La Pasture). Man from America. †$1.50. Dutton.
A story by the author of “Peter’s mother.” “The pretty granddaughters—one is a butterfly beauty but as sweet and good as good can be, the other an earnest thinker, but no prig—grow up and fall in love and get married to the right people, and learn in time that bon-papa is not really poor, but that he (and they) are very rich; and the little troubles they have passed through, the little white clouds that have sailed across on the summer wind, only make the sunshine of their sunny lives more golden.” (Acad.)
