Chapter 12:
1. Why do the problems of Gopher Prairie evaporate at the cottages? How is the routine different?
Chapter 13:
1. What, according to Guy Pollock, is the "Village Virus"? What are its symptoms? What does Pollock mean by the small town being a "social appendix"?

Vocabulary:
Chapter 12:
1. jocosely (167): with humor; comically
2. daguerreotype(s) (171): early type of photograph; a plate of coppery lightly coated with silver

Quote I liked:
"As they returned in late afternoon the low sun was a solemnity of radial bands, like a heavenly fan of beaten gold; the limitless circle of grain was a green see rimmed with fog, and the willow wind-breaks were palmy isles" (p. 165).
