She liked to potter about in the morning, attending to her birds and bantams, and talking to the gardening men, weeding women, and all the people in the adjacent hamlet; and, afterwards, the fireside, with her knitting and a newspaper, sufficed her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
