He was thinking of the town he had known. Not of old New Yorkas he had heard of that from old, old men when he himself had still been young and had smiled at their garrulity.

As the youngest child, and female, in a large properous farm family, she has been designated as her mother's helper in old age.

After rejecting the easy path to her dream of owning her own farm, she suffers through a bad marriage but ultimately acquires her land and achieves happiness.
