Mother

1907 · Book · Owen Wister

“When handsome young Richard Field-he was very handsome and very young-announced to our assembled company that if his turn should really come to tell us a story, the story should be no invention of his fancy, but a page of truth, a chapter from his own life, in which himself was the hero and a lovely, innocent girl was the heroine, his wife at once looked extremely uncomfortable.”
