Publisher's Synopsis
Edward Burcham Lent (1869-?) was the author of: Being Done Good (1904) and Cupid's Middleman (1906). "John Alden was a celebrated Cupid's middleman. In presenting the cause of Miles Standish to Priscilla, however, he did not attend strictly to business as a jobber. He was not able to resist the lady when she asked: "Why don't you speak for yourself, John? " That famous question has practically made it impossible for the middleman to make much headway in the assumed part. Benjamin Hopkins, of Oswegatchie County, was not a traitor-perhaps because he never met the fair Priscillas face to face. "
