Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Woodside Reminiscence In the year 1914, at the end of a winter's day in Springfield, Massachusetts, having completed the business which I had in hand, and not desiring to return to the home of the friend with whom I was visiting, at so early an hour, I wandered along the main street of the city, towards the outskirts. Seeing a sign "Antique Furniture" displayed over the entrance to an old-fashioned colonial house, I wandered in - more with the idea of escaping the cold air and falling snow than with any expectation of finding anything of particular interest. As I entered, I saw seated by a stove at the farther end of the room, two men evidently well advanced in years. One of them came forward and in a very courteous manner asked how he could serve me. I replied that I was idly looking about and if he would grant me the privilege of looking over what he had, though I probably would not purchase anything, I should appreciate his courtesy. He immediately replied that I should make myself at home and returned to his friend by the stove. I wandered around the place, seeing the usual assortment displayed in places of that character - composed mostly of old-fashioned warming pans, flax wheels, andirons, etc. Finally, arriving close to where the two men were seated, I heard the proprietor say to his visitor: "Do you expect to go back again to that country?"
