Abstract

The Last Retreat of the Boarder
August 20, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

It is reported that all along the northern portion of the Atlantic Coast the Cottager is gradually driving the Boarder away from the most attractive sites. The Cottager surrounds himself in lots of luxuries, his trim lawn, his tennis-ground, his expensive piazza, his dog-cart, and pony phaeton and though last not least, by his exclusiveness. The last drop in the Boarder's cup of bitterness is his discovering that the Cottager has, in a certain sense, begun to look on him as an intruder of another class. These contrasts are, of course, gaffing, and this is what the Cottager means them to be. In fact, he wishes the Boarder to "go." He considers him an injury to the neighborhood.
