Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from I Didn't Hear: Or Alice Leonard
This cousin May was a little girl who lived far away among the granite hills of New Hampshire, and whom Alice had never seen, but of whom she had been told, and about whom her imagination had always had the liveliest play. So after making such an an nouncement as the above, all day long the lit tle actress would play her part, never once making a mistake or letting her tongue slip. Instead of mamma and papa, it was Uncle John and Aunt Margaret, and brother Harry was Cousin Harry. Of course, being a visitor, she would be on her very prettiest behavior, and go tripping about the room in the daintiest style, and with as many foreign airs as she could devise. The very tones of her voice and carriage of her head were evi dently imported, and corresponded with her ideal of the little far-away cousin. She would feign the greatest possible interest in things which had always been familiar, and ask ques tions, and express her surprise and admiration, as if she really were just from Yankee-land! It was funny enough to hear her.
