Excerpt from First Love Is Best: A Sentimental Sketch
I confess that many otherwise idle moments have been spent in these works of necessity and mercy. But the present is the first one I have ever so much as thought of committing to paper; and the only excuse I have to offer is the unusually aggravated, not to say impious, woes heaped upon the heads of some very worthy persons at a time when I happened to be spending winter weeks in a climate so wooing and winning that the devout church-goer had to dig through five feet of snow at his own garden gate on his way to the sanctuary, and then have the snow shovel pitched over at him when he got back, that he might dig his way in through another snowbank on the same spot, as exactly like the first as two peas in a pod! If any one thinks that, under similar circumstances. He can get more enjoyment out of less mischief, I should like to see him try it.
