Walter Sherwood's Probation; Or, Cool Head and Warm Heart

By Alger, Horatio

Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. WALTER SHERWOOD?s LETTER. ?Here?s a letter for you, Doctor Mack,? said the housekeeper, as she entered the plain room used as a library and sitting?room by her employer, Doctor Ezekiel Mack. ?It?s from Walter, I surmise.? This was a favorite word with Miss Nancy Sprague, who, though a housekeeper, prided herself on having been a schoolmistress in her earlier days. ?Indeed, Nancy. Let me see it. Walter is really getting attentive. His last letter came to hand only two days since. He hasn't forgotten his old guardian.? ?Oh, no, sir. He'll never do that. He has a predilection for his old home. His heart is in the right place.? ?Just so. I wish I felt as sure about his head.? Doctor Mack adjusted his spectacles, for he was rising sixty, and his eyes required assistance, and opened the letter. As he read it his forehead contracted, and he looked disturbed.
