Set in old Pattaquasset, Connecticut, Say and Seal tells the story of a slow romance with deep emotional moments between a young local lady and a new teacher in town. Mr. Linden is a schoolteacher who is earning a few dollars to finish his degree as a preacher. He manages to live up to his calling, bringing the Gospel to all the "good" folks in town who didn't think they were sinners, but who were in need of a Savior nonetheless. Practicing delightful Christian charity with feeding the needy and helping the disadvantaged, he catches the eye of young Miss Faith.
