At Fault
Authorship not stated
You are the mistress of Place-du-Bois, four thousand acres you have mastered since Jerome's death, when a northern businessman, David Hosmer, arrives proposing a sawmill on your timber. You question him hard before agreeing to his limited timber right, and a year later find him still bent over ledgers after hours, guarding a photograph of a boy he keeps locked away and will not fully explain. A resentful mill boy's grievance stays unsettled while, unnoticed by either of you, another test of the plantation begins out on the lake.
