New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1920. Hardcover first edition - A novel by this popular writer set, as were most of his books, on a fictional Cape Cod. A young man and his grandfather are at odds with each other. The boy's father had been a noted Spanish singer, and his mother had defied her family to marry him - thus the reference to the boy as a 'Portygee.' When his father dies leaving only debts, Albert is offered a job in the grandfather's ship-building business, but he only wants to be a writer. Illustrated with a color frontispiece by H. M. Brent. 361 pp.
