Description
Mixed Pickles, by Evelyn Raymond, was copyrighted in 1892 by Thomas Crowell of New York. A plate of Fritz and Don, at page 158, fronts the tale. The book opens in a pleasant room thrown into dismay by a telegram.
Grandmother Capers throws up her hands and calls the news a terrible infliction. Grandmother Kinsolving, on a lounge, still holds the telegram in trembling fingers. Aunt Ruth speaks with asperity, though her plain Friend's dress should soften her temper. The voice from the lounge is firmest: the visitors cannot come here, and if they do, she will leave. Ruth answers that she is at perfect liberty to do so. The clash of old folks and kin sets the household comedy in motion.
