Pemaquid A Story Of Old Times In New England

Excerpt from Pemaquid a Story of Old Times in New England At last I breathe freely. Away down in this little Eastern village of Pemaquid I shall find a safe retreat from my enemies and persecutors. It was a happy thought that brought me here. Time, it is true, will hang heavy on my hands at first, but with all my resources and devices I shall soon adjust myself to my new circumstances. And what are these circumstances? I spend my nights in a room that has been shut up from the profane eye for a quarter of a century. By dint of opening every window, and banishing the hideous green paper curtains, the musty odor of this grim apartment is beginning to become endurable. My days I spend in a room yet more religiously closed, more grim, more musty, which rejoices in the name of parlor.
