Description
Miriam Michelson's 1904 story collection follows the Madigan girls of San Francisco through ten linked tales. The first, Cecilia the Pharisee, opens with Sissy feeling virtuous before she has done anything at all. Other stories include A Pagan and a Puritan, The Shut-Ups, and The Ancestry of Irene.
Irene and her many supposed fathers appear in Orson Lowell's illustrations, including the frontispiece. The sisters scheme, pretend, write letters, and manage their widowed household with more wit than money. Michelson had written In the Bishop's Carriage, and she gives the Madigans the same quick talk and warm disorder. Kate: A Pretense and Old Mother Gibson close the set.
