Excerpt from Plucky Boys
Glad I am, mother, the holidays are over. It's quite different going back to school again when one goes to be captain as I'm sure to be. Isn't it jolly?
Mrs. Boyd's face as She smiled back at Donald, was not exactly jolly. Still, She did smile; and then there came out the strong likeness often seen between mother and son, even when, as in this case, the features were very dissimilar. Mrs. Boyd was a pretty, delicate little English woman: and Donald took after his father, a big, brawny Scotsman, certainly not pretty, and not always sweet. Poor man! He had of late years had only too much to make him sour.
