And Conwell himself is a dreamer: first of all he is a dreamer; it is the most important fact in regard to him! AND CONWELL HIMSELF IS A DREAMER FIRST OF ALL HE IS A DREAMER IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT IN REGARD TO HIM
hen his strong and deep nature. Yet the real Conwell was always essentially the same. Neighborhood tradition still tells of his bravery as a boy and a youth, of his reckless coasting, his skill as a swimmer and his saving of lives, his strength and endurance, his plunging out into the darkness of a wild winter night to save a neighbor’s cattle. His soldiers came home with tales of his devotion to them, and of how he shared his rations and his blankets and bravely risked his life; of how he crept off into a swamp, at imminent peril, to rescue one of his men lost or mired there. The present Conwell was always Conwell; in fact, he may be traced through his ancestry, too, for in him are the sturdy virtues, the bravery, the grim determination, the practicality, of his father; and romanticism, that comes from his grandmother; and the dreamy qualities of his mother, who, practical and hardworking New England woman that she was, was at the same time influenced by an almost startling mysticism.  WHICH UNDOUBTEDLY DID DEEPEN AND STRENGTHEN HIS STRONG AND DEEP NATURE YET THE REAL CONWELL WAS ALWAYS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD TRADITION STILL TELLS OF HIS BRAVERY AS A BOY AND A YOUTH OF RECKLESS COASTING HIS SKILL AS A SWIMMER AND SAVING OF LIVES HIS STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE IS PLUNGING OUT INTO THE DARKNESS OF WILD WINTER NIGHT TO SAVE A NEIGHBOR'S CATTLE HIS SOLDIERS CAME HOME WITH TALES OF HIS DEVOTION TO THEM AND HOW HE SHARED HIS RATIONS AND HIS BLANKETS AND BRAVELY RISKED HIS LIFE OF HOW HE CREPT OFF INTO A SWAMP AT INTIMATE PERIL TO RESCUE ONE OF THE MEN LOST OR MIRED THERE THE PRESENT CONWELL WAS ALWAYS CONWELL IN FACT HE MAY BE TRACED THROUGH HIS ANCESTRY TOO FOR IN HIM THERE ARE STURDY VIRTUES THE BRAVERY THE GRIM DETERMINATION THE PRACTICALITY OF HIS FATHER AND ROMANTICISM THAT COMES FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER AND THE DREAMY QUALITIES OF HIS MOTHER THE PRACTICAL AND HARD WORKING NEW ENGLAND WOMAN THAT SHE WAS WAS THE SAME TIME INFLUENCED BY AN ALMOST STARTLING MYSTICISM
