Description

Excerpt from Big John Wallace: A Romance of the Early Canadian Pioneers And if at times I obtrude myself into my tale, remember it is difficult for a narrator to speak of things in which he has played even an unimportant part without seeming to speak much of himself. But one cannot fell the tree without felling also the vine which entwines it: and because I am grafted into the lives of the men and women of whom I write, you must bear with plain John Wallace as he unfolds his story. To-night I am alone in the big room whose oaken rafters, stained sumach-brown by time, throw back the ruddy glow from the stone fire-place. The log is eaten through and the flames slumber. Seated in my Old hickory chair, my favorite pipe alight, the half-lights and the stillness remind me of the smoky twi lights of those grand yesterdays, when these fair farms about me were forest, and above the misty marshes the fireflies twinkled as those guttering candles - ninety of them - twinkle now adown the shadowed length Of this empty banqueting hall.
