Excerpt from The Inn at the Red Oak

To the east of Monday Port, across Deal Great Water, an estuary of the sea that expanded al most to the dignity of a lake, lay a pleasant roll ing wooded country known in Caesarea as Deal. It boasted no village, scarcely a hamlet. Dr. Jeremiah Watson, a famous pedagogue and a graduate of Kingsbridge, had started his modest establishment for the education of the sons of gentlemen on Deal Hill; there were half-a dozen prospering farms, Squire Pembroke's Red Farm and Judge Meath's curiously lonely but beautiful House on the Dunes among them; a little Episcopalian chapel on the shores of the Strathsey river, a group of houses at the cross roads north of Lovel's Woods, and the Inn at the Red Oak, - and that was all.
