Summary: "The Best Stories of Sarah Orne Jewett, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a collection of short stories published in the early 20th century. This volume brings together various narratives that capture the essence of New England life, focusing on themes of nature, community, and the human experience. The opening features characters navigating their environments—particularly a young girl named Sylvia, who interacts with her beloved cow and experiences the gentle challenges of rural life. At the start of the volume, the scene is set in the tranquil woods at dusk, where a little girl named Sylvia is tasked with bringing home her cow. Her playful relationship with the cow highlights her innocent fascination with nature and her surroundings, which is juxtaposed against her occasional fears and the quiet drama of her childhood. Sylvia encounters a young man with a gun, who, upon asking for directions, becomes a pivotal figure in her day. As they spend time together, it becomes evident that their paths may intertwine in significant ways, all while Sylvia remains troubled by her loyalties to nature and her growing, yet innocent, feelings for the young man.
