THE HOME OF OUR FATHERS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I do like a road, because you can be always wondering what is at\u003cbr\u003ethe end of it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Story Girl said that once upon a time.  Felix and I, on the\u003cbr\u003eMay morning when we left Toronto for Prince Edward Island, had\u003cbr\u003enot then heard her say it, and, indeed, were but barely aware of\u003cbr\u003ethe existence of such a person as the Story Girl.  We did not\u003cbr\u003eknow her at all under that name.  We knew only that a cousin,\u003cbr\u003eSara Stanley, whose mother, our Aunt Felicity, was dead, was\u003cbr\u003eliving down on the Island with Uncle Roger and Aunt Olivia King,\u003cbr\u003eon a farm adjoining the old King homestead in Carlisle.  We\u003cbr\u003esupposed we should get acquainted with her when we reached there,\u003cbr\u003eand we had an idea, from Aunt Olivia's letters to father, that\u003cbr\u003eshe would be quite a jolly creature.  Further than that we did\u003cbr\u003enot think about her.  We were more interested in Felicity and\u003cbr\u003eCecily and Dan, who lived on the homestead and would therefore be\u003cbr\u003eour roofmates for a season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the spirit of the Story Girl's yet unuttered remark was\u003cbr\u003ethrilling in our hearts that morning, as the train pulled out of\u003cbr\u003eToronto.  We were faring forth on a long road; and, though we had\u003cbr\u003esome idea what would be at the end of it, there was enough\u003cbr\u003eglamour of the unknown about it to lend a wonderful charm to our\u003cbr\u003especulations concerning it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe were delighted at the thought of seeing father's old home, and\u003cbr\u003eliving among the haunts of his boyhood.  He had talked so much to\u003cbr\u003eus about it, and described its scenes so often and so minutely,\u003cbr\u003ethat he had inspired us with some of his own deep-seated\u003cbr\u003eaffection for it--an affection that had never waned in all his\u003cbr\u003eyears of exile.  We had a vague feeling that we, somehow,\u003cbr\u003ebelonged there, in that cradle of our family, though we had never\u003cbr\u003eseen it.  We had always looked forward eagerly to the promised\u003cbr\u003eday when father would take us \"down home,\" to the old house with\u003cbr\u003ethe spruces behind it and the famous \"King orchard\" before\u003cbr\u003eit--when we might ramble in \"Uncle Stephen's Walk,\" drink from\u003cbr\u003ethe deep well with the Chinese roof over it, stand on \"the Pulpit\u003cbr\u003eStone,\" and eat apples from our \"birthday trees.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121066623216,"sku":"2940013476998","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013476998_p0.jpg?v=1763582006","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013476998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
