One Day's Courtship and The Heralds of Fame

This volume contains two entertaining novellas from Scottish-Canadian writer Robert Barr. One Day's Courtship is farcical romance that describes a canoe trip taken by two artists—strangers before the day of the outing—to view a local scenic landmark. In The Heralds of Fame, two rival writers stuck on the same trans-Atlantic voyage vie for the attention of a pretty passenger.
