“I think Labour Day is an awfully funny holiday,” remarked Patty. “It doesn’t seem to mean anything. It doesn’t commemorate anybody’s birth or death or heroism.” “It’s like Bank Holiday in England,” said her father. “Merely to give the poor, tired business man a rest.” “Well, you don’t specially need one, Daddy; you’ve recreated a lot this summer; and it’s done you good,—you’re looking fine.” “Isn’t he?” said Nan, smiling at the finely tanned face of her husband. The Fairfields were down at “The Pebbles,” their summer home at the seashore, and Patty, who had spent much of the season in New England, had come down for a fortnight with her parents ...…mehr

Autorenporträt
May Agnes Fleming (1840–1880) was a Canadian novelist who stood as a prolific and popular writer in her time. Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Fleming wrote numerous novels that primarily fell into the genre of romantic fiction, often incorporating elements of suspense and intrigue. Her literary style is characterized by the use of sensational plots and the portrayal of strong and independent women, which was a notable departure from the typical female characters of her era. 'Sir Noel's Heir' (1872) is one of her notable works, where once again her penchant for creating mysterious and dramatic narratives is on full display. Fleming's works demonstrate her mastery in weaving complex storylines that captivate readers with their twists and depth of character. Despite the decline in her popularity after her death, May Agnes Fleming remains an important figure for her contributions to the development of Canadian literature, and her novels continue to be studied and enjoyed for their historical value and their engaging narrative style. Essential to the cannon of 19th-century North American women writers, Fleming's writings contributed to the shaping of popular fiction during her time.
