"I hope not!" his son exclaimed with energy; "for if so it must surely be the cause of life-long self-reproach to her. Will you go with us to the depôt, father?"
"No, no, my son! let my first sight of my poor stricken child be where we will not be the gazing stock of an idle, curious crowd. I shall meet her here at my own door."
The train steamed into the depôt, and Mrs. Allison, glancing from a window of the parlor-car, saw her brother and nephews standing near the track.
They saw her, too, and lifted their hats with a sad sort of smile. All felt that the invalid must be unable to sit up or her face also would have been in sight.

Violet marry's a widower with three children and on of them is very badly behaved. The Dinsmore, Travilla,and Raymond Family all spemd a summer in cottages at t
Elsie's daughter, Little Elsie, finally weds her love, Lester. Edward falls in love and marrys the dinsmores old friends' daughter Zoe Love. Meanwhile, Captain Raymond courts and wins the heart of Violet. When more aditions begin to add to the family. Elsie finally feels like a grandmother.
These are a reminder of the way life should be. Christian parents and children loving each other and God.
This one is good too. I like reading how people grow up. It's also sad too.
GRANDMOTHER ELSIE is #8 in the Elsie Dinsmore series and one of the best. Pure soap opera, but surprisingly well-written. It deals mostly with the romantic lives of Elsie's three oldest children: namesake Elsie, Edward and Violet. The melodrama begins when namesake Elsie hears of her lover's illness
Ahh, it felt so lovely to be reading an Elsie book again! The characters are just so lovely, and the story so pure and wholesome. The morals and messages sprinkled throughout, while a bit on the nose at times, are so good and encouraging. I loved these books as a pre-teen, and still do.
