E-text prepared by Al Haines "Flood Tide" by Sara Ware Bassett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Willie Spence, a kind and inventive old man, as well as his housekeeper Celestina Morton. Willie's quirky inventions and his endearing personality make him a beloved figure in the small town of Wilton, where the tale unfolds against a backdrop of close-knit community life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Willie Spence, who is characterized by his absent-mindedness and whimsical creativity, often found lost in thought while tinkering with his many inventive contraptions. His kind-hearted nature is evident in his interactions with Celestina, who both cares for him and tolerates his oddities. Meanwhile, a new character, Robert Morton, Celestina's nephew, arrives, bringing with him new energy and a keen interest in Willie's inventions. The early chapters set the stage for adventures that include Willie's inventive escapades, Celestina's nurturing role, and the dynamics that evolve with Robert's presence in their lives, highlighting themes of friendship, community, and the joy of creation.
