Miscellanea

This book is including a short type story. One of Mrs. Ewing's strongest gifts was her power of mimicry this made her an actor above the average of amateurs, and also enabled her to imitate any special style of writing that she wished. During my sister's girlhood we had a family MS. Magazine (as our Mother had done in her young days), and two of the stories in Mrs. Cousin Peregrine's Wonder Stories and Traveller's Tales were written after Mrs. Ewing's marriage, with the help of her husband; he supplied the facts and descriptions from things which he had seen during his long residence abroad.
