Description
Excerpt from A Winter of Content
A small, rocky island in a lake, a canoe paddling away across the blue water, a woman standing on a narrow strip Of beach, looking after it. I was the woman left on the shore, the canoe held my companions of the past summer, the island was to be my home until another summer should bring them back again.
There is no denying that I was frightened as I turned back along the trail toward the little house among the birches. It was hard work to keep from jumping into a boat and putting out after the canoe that was round ing the point and leaving me alone.
Little chilly fears laid icy fingers on the back of my neck. A shadow slipped between the trees; a sigh whispered among the leaves. I wanted to see all round me; I wanted to put my back against a wall. A little, grin ning goblin of a misgiving stuck out an im pudent tongue as it quoted some of the jeers of unsympathetic friends ''and relatives, who had derided my plan for borrowing the camp.
