Excerpt from That Affair at St. Peter'sFor thirty years my father had been senior warden of St. Peter's and when I was a boy of nineteen he died. After finishing college and taking a run around Europe, I came back to Hollywood as an assistant in the National Bank. I always liked the little town, for it was near enough to New York to permit me to take in all the worth-while plays and operas and to keep in touch with my college mates. Mother died so long ago that she was only a beautiful memory to me, but Aunt Kate did her best to make up to me for being mother less. When, two years after Father, she left me alone in the old Perrin mansion on Main street, for a time I felt that I could not eu dure the solitude of that house, but when I was ready to settle down to work, the place seemed home and I was glad to get back and to keep it open, whether I was there or not, under the care of old Mary, who had served the family for many years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
