Extract

Horace Bushnell's children knew him as a tender, playful father whose after-dinner romps and continual courtesy warmed the memories of their early family life. But his daughter, Mary, once told of a curious and glaring exception to his habit of fun and kindness at home. “The sight of a doll or [toy] monkey was abhorrent to him,” she remembered, “and he could not restrain his expression of the disgust thus awakened…Woe to the doll which lay in his path!”
