The Captain brought his bride .o Carvel, and his daughter was born there. After he died, his daughter welded Will Brannan, and Will came to live. with his wife and her mother. When Emily and Kay Grammar were babies, Grandmother Somes died, and the name died with her; but the house was still "Cap',i Somes's place" to Carvel and the countryside around.
 Emily and Kay grew older. and Emily went to Wellesley, and on < certain fine morning in inid-June, Kay Brannan walked uptownto get the mail. will had a box in the Postoffice, and usually brought the mail when he came home to lunch, but to-day he was indisposed and would stay abed. George Hastings would have sent the mail with their grocery order if he had been asked to do 50; but his truck would not deliver till late in the forenoon, and this was Monday, so that there was apt to be a letter from Emily. Kay was always eager for Emilys letters, 50 she came to town.
 She walked; for she was used to walking, and this day was warm, with soft wind full of pleasant whisperings. Leaves were unfold- ing, like butterflies trying their wings. The new grass was spring. ing from the sod, confidently ex- pecting to grow tall and lush, as Ignorant of lawnmowers as a col- lege senior of the discipline of the world. There was some late shade bush in bloom along the river, and flowers in garden beds along the way.
 Where such Q girl as Kay Is con- cerned, dimensions are ot no in. portance; but for the sake of the record, Kay was small, only a frac- ton over five feet. She was bare- headed to-day, and against her mothers prudent advice she wore neither sweater nor coat. She walked as though she enjoyed do- ing so, with shoulders straight and snug. and head high; and her heels clipped briskly. She seemed not to hurry, 50 easily she moved: yet for person whose utmost comfortable stride was only little more than two feet, she covered ground at a surprising speed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-20

Her eyes were alert, and she missed nothing along the way. Small matters may assume large importance in Carvel, remote from the passing world. Isolate and self contained. There is railroad through Newheld. some eight miles to the north, at the foot of the Lake, and another ct Dexter, seven miles to the south; but Carvel it. self lies midway between the two lines, untouched by them. Even the main motor routes to the mountains pass to one side or the other: so that the town sees little of the transient stream of summer folk. There are Q few cottages on Coos Pond, three or four miles toward Newfield; but these are for the most part owned by Carvel people, who use them as summer homes or as resorts for weekend vacations, or for winter outings when the snow lies deep on the ice across the pond.
 The town itself Is rather indus- trial than agricultural. White River. the outlet of the Lake, comes cascading down the steep and rocky gorge northeast of Carvel, and three mills use the water power thus made available. Charley Rad lords shinglc mill catches the first fall: the Carvel Woolen Mills, which have made old Luke Frame a wealthy man, are lower down; and nearer the foot, and ct the very heart of the town. the Central New Hampshire Power Company has 6 plant and office building, filled day and night with the hum of turbine. driven dynamos.
 The Postofice is diagonally op. posite the entrance to the Power Company's offices, on the village square. A few stores and 0 filling station cluster fear, and so far ai the businecs section of Carvol it concerned, that is all. But along Main Street there arc pleasant homes, oil well-spaced lawns, tho houses fresh with clean white paint, thrifty and self-conteined.
 As Kay came to town to-day. folk went out of their way to mes her tace to face for the pleasure of her
