Description
Laura E Richards spins a village tale in Mrs Tree's Will, from Dana Estes of Boston, copyrighted in 1905. Richards had written Captain January and a first Mrs Tree book. The contents promise the will itself, then what the men said and what the women said, mostly gossip, and a scene in Miss Penny's shop.
The tale opens with Homer Hollopeter, nervous and sighing, telling the little minister Mr Bliss how it all happened. Mrs Tree died suddenly at nine in the evening while the minister was away, and the village has never known such a sensation. Gentle comedy carries the will's fallout.
