Excerpt from Triangulating PeaceBetsy smiled at her mother's little spurt of temper and quickly curbed the smile. She was not only a dutiful daughter, but had an uncommon sense of humor, although in demeanor and look she strongly resembled her grave and handsome father, who had suf fered himself to be called a rebel and had gloried in being called a martyr. While Betsy trod serenely and calmly through life, its big things and its small, she loved her spicy mother and rather enjoyed the latter's tart tongue and temper, though many a time she had fronted both down with her quiet eyes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
