Mistress Anne
Mistress Anne, published in 1917, is a romantic novel by Temple Bailey, a popular American writer of magazine fiction. Anne Warfield is the young teacher of the Crossroads school in a quiet corner of Maryland near the Chesapeake, boarding at a country lodge where old gentlemen from Baltimore come to hunt, fish and eat well. Restless for the bright lights of the city and the company of people her own age, she finds her winter changed by the arrival of new visitors, including a young man with an Irish setter, and by the choices that follow between ambition and a simpler happiness. The novel is gentle, sentimental and full of feeling for the Maryland countryside. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
