Isabel McClintock Garland, A Daughter of the Middle Border
Zulime Taft: "The New Daughter" | Frontispiece | | Miss Zulime Taft, acting as volunteer housekeeper for the colony | 104 | | At last the time came when I was permitted to take my wife—lovely as a Madonna—out into the sunshine | 286 | | The old soldier and pioneer loved to take the children on his knees and bask in the light of the fire | 304 | | Entirely subject to my daughter, who regarded me as a wonder-working giant, I paid tribute to her in song and story | 322 | | That night as my daughters, "dressed up" as princesses, danced like fairies in the light of our restored and broadened hearth, I forgot all the toil, all the disheartenment which the burning of the house had brought upon me | 368 | | The art career which Zulime Taft abandoned (against my wish) after our marriage, is now being taken up by her daughter Constance | 399 | | To Mary Isabel, who, as a girl of eighteen, still loves to impersonate the majesty of princesses | 401 |
