About this book
On a steamer preparing to leave Boston for the St. Lawrence, Patrick Boyd renews an old friendship and hears about Elinor Marshall, a wealthy young woman devoted to charitable causes. Known as Pats, he has returned from South Africa weakened by fever and injuries, yet his conversation remains quick and teasing. Elinor's arrival brings a circle of admirers, generous gifts and competing views of love and duty into the opening of John Ames Mitchell's romance.
Later, Pats and Elinor have spent a month stranded beside a bay, wondering why help has failed to arrive. She nurses him through his recovery, while the dog, Solomon, shares meals and walks among the pines. Sea air, improvised domestic life and affectionate banter give this adventure its character.
