Excerpt from Our Little Canadian Cousin IN Our Little Canadian Cousin, my intention has been to tell, in a general way, although with a defined local setting, the story of Canadian home life. To Canadians, borne life means not merely sitting at a huge fire place, or brewing and baking in a wide country kitchen, or dancing of an evening, or teaching, or sewing; but it means the great outdoor life - sleighing, skating, snow-shoeing, hunting, anoeing, and, above all, camping out the joys that belong to a vast, uncrowded country, where there is room to play.
