Stoddard, Elizabeth Drew: Lemorne Versus Huell. v1. 13 Jul 2013
Elizabeth Drew Stoddard, née Barstow (May 6, 1823 – August 1, 1902), was a United States poet and novelist
Excerpt The two months I spent at Newport with Aunt Eliza Huell, who had been ordered to the sea-side for the benefit of her health, were the months that created all that is dramatic in my destiny. My aunt was troublesome, for she was not only out of health, but in a lawsuit. She wrote to me, for we lived apart, asking me to accompany her—not because she was fond of me, or wished to give me pleasure, but because I was useful in various ways. Mother insisted upon my accepting her invitation, not because she loved her late husband's sister, but because she thought it wise to cotton to her in every particular, for Aunt Eliza was rich, and we—two lone women—were poor.
