The
Return
THERE
WAS
SOMETHING
about
the
coast
town
of
Dunnet
which
made
it
seem
more
attractive
than
other
maritime
villages
of
eastern
Maine.
Perhaps
it
was
the
simple
fact
of
acquaintance
with
that
neighborhood
which
made
it
so
attaching,
and
gave
such
interest
to
the
rocky
shore
and
dark
woods,
and
the
few
houses
which
seemed
to
be
securely
wedged
and
tree-nailed
in
among
the
ledges
by
the
Landing.
These
houses
made
the
most
of
their
seaward
view,
and
there
was
a
gayety
and
determined
floweriness
in
their
bits
of
garden
ground;
the
small-paned
high
windows
in
the
peaks
of
their
steep
gables
were
like
knowing
eyes
that
watched
the
harbor
and
the
far
sea-line
beyond,
or
looked
northward
all
along
the
shore
and
its
background
of
spruces
and
balsam
firs.
When
one
really
knows
a
village
like
this
and
its
surroundings,
it
is
like
becoming
acquainted
with
a
single
person.
The
process
of
falling
in
love
at
first
sight
is
as
final
as
it
is
swift
in
such
a
case,
but
the
growth
of
true
friendship
may
be
a
lifelong
affair.
