November had come again; and with it came a new anxiety.
The small farm, rented by Farmer Farren, had passed into new hands. Squire Derrick was dead, and “another king arose, who knew not Joseph.” The heir was a needy, grasping man. Old tenants were nothing to him, and he was in want of ready money.
He had made up his mind to sell the little farm. It was more than likely, therefore, that the Farrens would be turned out of the old nest. For the young, it is easy to build new homes, and gather new associations around them; but for the old, it is well-nigh impossible. Their very lives are built into the ancient walls. When they leave a familiar dwelling, they long to go straight to “a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

Hi Stav
I am sorry about this problem i am having. My dowload of the book is faulty obviously. I will correct tomorrow. I am not sure exactly where the missing text should be inserted. Will try to rectify myself.
Hi Jordan,
I am blind, and adding things to the mw is possible but takes time. I often skip it because I don't have time at the moment. If you can add completed recordengs you listen to to the mw, that would be marvelous.

Love gothic novels? Try Children Of The Abbey. Like surprising mysteries? Try The Amathist Cross. Looking for an easy read? Try Harriet's Choice.

I'm so sorry, I didn't realise. I have been adding the details to the Magic Window myself when needed.

Alcohol and Maths don't mix. So never drink and derive.

Jennifer, can you provide a link to the text you've read from? We need to be sure that it is in the Public Domain also.
The Gutenburg link provided in the MW is PD for us, we would prefer you read from that text.
