Elizabeth Ann’s Houseboat by Josephine Lawrence

A collection of fiction stories written by Josephine Lawrence for girls, ‘Elizabeth Ann’s Houseboat’ was first published in the year 1929. ““I don’t see why we have to hurry,” protested Elizabeth Ann.
She wanted to get out and see what kind of a flower was growing in the middle of the large field on the right hand side of the road. Lex had declared that for once he couldn’t stop. Usually Lex did just as Elizabeth Ann asked him to—Cousin Nellie said that both Lex and Uncle Doctor always did as Elizabeth Ann asked.” -an excerpt
