Excerpt from Mr. Rutherford's Children IN one of the streets of the great city there may yet be seen a large hotel, which was an old building when Chryssa was a. Little child. It was built of grey stone, and had chimneys enough for a whole row of houses, and as many windows as if it meant to take in all the sunbeams for its own use. But the sun beams did not choose to go. They liked better to dance on the weathercocks of the tall church steeples, and to run up and down the sides of the houses, and to lie on the pavement. They never even glanced upon some of the hotel windows, and at others there were blinds and thick curtains that it was too much trouble to get past and there were still others where the sunbeams really went in but did not stay, - there was no trap to catch them.

An important practitioner of American literary regionalism, Sarah Orne Jewett was a novelist, short story writer and poet, whose works are noted for ‘local color’, set against the backdrop of her beloved seacoast of Maine. Her acknowledged masterpiece, ‘The Country of the Pointed Firs’ portrays the isolation and loneliness of a declining seaport town, blended with the unique humour of its people. Her works are sympathetic, yet unsentimental in approach, portraying a nostalgic view of a provincial and rapidly disappearing society, imbued with the naturalism of Gustave Flaubert.
