Excerpt from The Doctor's Daughter
Mrs. Mccrae was a great contrast to her husband, being a woman of slender frame and of delicate consti tution. And Mary. Their only offspring. Was in all respects like her mother. Only somewhat taller. She was known as the prettiest lass in the parish. Admired by all, and particularly by one as the sweetest flower on Egerton brass, Egerton being the name of the nearest farm, situated on the hillside a little distant from the cottage where Mary lived. As she was the only child, she was brought up with the greatest care, never being allowed any companions and therefore seldom speaking to anyone except those who called to see the doctor.
