Boughton left behind him in his youth is no longer there; the "old New York" is no longer a port to sail to, unless for phantom ships. In imagination, however, the author of "The Return of the Mayflower" has several times taken his way back; he has painted with conspicuous charm and success various episodes of the early Puritan story.
The little girl heroine adds another to the list of favorites so well known to the young people in "A Little Puritan Rebel," etc. A Dog of Flanders: A CHRISTMAS STORY. Too well and favorably known to require description. The Nürnberg Stove. This beautiful story has never before been published at a popular price. A Provence Rose. A story perfect in sweetness and in grace. Findelkind.
His traditions were not those of the Puritans, of the Ephraims and the Abijahs of the volunteer army, men whose Old Testament names tell something of the rigor of the Puritan view of life.

Miss Montague suffers from a certain imaginative poverty which is becoming more and more characteristic of puritan art and life in America. From the point of view of style, however, these stories share distinction in the Henry James tradition only with Katharine Fullerton Gerould, Anne Douglas Sedgwick, Arthur Johnson and H. G. Dwight.
Civilization bowed cruelly this girl, who felt in greater measure than the gently staid female descendants of the Puritan stock around her the fire of savage or primitive passions; but she now submitted to it with the taciturnity of one of her ancestresses to the torture.

He was driven from Bishop Williams' house because he was a Puritan; and there is the origin of his fortune.
