Andrew the Glad, published in 1913, is a classic love story. David and Andrew both want the same beautiful woman. The story begins, "There are some women who will brew mystery from the decoction of even a very simple life. Matilda is one of them," remarked the major to himself as he filled his pipe and settled himself before his high-piled, violet-flamed logs. "It was waxing strong in her this morning and an excitement will arrive shortly. Now I wonder--" Maria Thompson Daviess also wrote Miss Selina Lue, Rose of Old Harpeth and The Melting of Molly.
