"We ran away this fall. In fleeing the telegraph, the post-office, the door bells, and all our many masters, we experienced a sweet, if guilty satisfaction, which more than compensated the unpropitious skies that followed us - this is the chronicle of the trip."

The writing is superbly descriptive of the Maine woods, the prose is often like poetry, and the feeling of the period is captured on the pages.
