From the publisher
Excerpt from The Career of David Noble Noble establishment, (would certainly have registered eighty-five. On the whole, the scene was one of comfort and good cheer. Mrs. Noble, dressed in a gray calico wrapper, partially covered by an apron of brown print, stood by the red-hot stove, frying potatoes and salt pork, which gave forth sharp, hiss ing sounds, and smelled most fragrantly. The larger kitchen table, covered, like the one near the door, with a red tablecloth, was already set with the remainder of the evening meal a great plate of bread, a smaller one of cake, a dish of maple syrup and another of pickles. In the further corner Of the room, around a lamp with a purple shade set upon an old-fashioned desk, sat four boys, the eldest ap patently about fourteen, the youngest seven or eight, who were alternately studying and quarreling; while near the stove, her attention about equally divided between a doughnut and a rubber pacifier, was a baby girl in a high-chair. Mrs. Noble shoved back her frying pan, and turned to greet her husband with characteristic New England demonstration.
