Status Updates From The Setons

I wonder if DE Stevenson’s golden-haired Elizabeth in The Four Graces is a tribute to this golden-haired Elizabeth. 🤔

“To Arthur Townshend Mr. Seton's preaching came as a revelation. He had been charmed with him as a gentle saint, a saint kept human by a sense of humour, a tall daughter, and a small, wicked son. But this man in the pulpit, his face stern and sad as he spoke of the unwilling guest, was no gentle saint, but a ‘sword-blade man.’”

O Douglas does small boys so well. So much mischief. 😂

Well I read two chapters and then kept falling asleep because I would try to read this right before bed. And now it’s Victober Eve. So I guess wrong time for this book!

This author was mentioned in QUIET NEIGHBORS, so I thought I would give it a try.

So far really enjoying this story of a Glasgow minister's family. No mention of war yet though.
