<br/><br/> "Ethel Morton at Sweetbrier Lodge" by Mabell S. C. Smith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ethel Morton, her cousins, and their experiences as they help with the care of chickens and the construction of a new house called Sweetbrier Lodge. The narrative gently explores themes of family, childhood curiosity, and learning through hands-on experiences in both nature and home life.  At the start of the novel, the characters are introduced through a lively scene where Ethel Morton and her cousins assist Dicky Morton in transferring newly hatched chicks from an incubator to a brooder. This charming opening dialogue showcases their personalities and the close-knit nature of their family. The children discuss various topics, including the construction of a new house for their relatives and their plans for a birdbath made of concrete. With playful and inquisitive interactions, the beginning sets the stage for a narrative filled with creativity, the joys of childhood, and the excitement of new adventures.
