Rhoda Edwards, another of Timothy's daughters, married Col. Josiah Dwight, of Springfield.
"That's what I always think," his Ina said. "Can't you get mother to come out?" Dwight inquired. "I had so much to do getting dinner onto the table, I didn't try," Ina confessed. "You didn't have to try," Mrs. Bett's voice sounded. "I was coming when I got rested up." She entered, looking vaguely about. "I want Lulie," she said, and the corners of her mouth drew down.
After various attempts to liberate it, by throwing sticks and stones at it, Dwight took off his shoes, turned up his pantaloons to his knees, and waded in to the place, and after carefully extricating the whip, brought it safely to the shore. "I am very glad I have got my whip again," said Caleb, while Dwight was putting on his shoes. "I am glad too," said Dwight.
By a feverish exertion of strength I had borne her thither from her mother's chamber, and was now watching the returning hues of life color her pale cheek. At the sound of my name, uttered behind me, I arose. I had expected a speedy visit from one of the brothers, but I had been in hopes that it would be Dwight, and not Guy, who would make it.
Ina and Dwight themselves were going because she, Lulu, had brought about this party. "Act as good as you look, Lulie," Mrs. Bett called after them. She gave no instructions to Ina who was married and able to shine in her conduct, it seemed. Dwight was cross.

"You would have been shocked at such an idea. And now don't you see that all your attempts to prove that he had done wrong, was only the effect of the ill-will you felt towards him at the time.
Lulu moved forward, and stood a little away from them, and sang, too. She was still holding Ninian's picture. Dwight did not sing. He lifted his shoulders and his eyebrows and watched Lulu. When they had finished, "Lulu the mocking bird!" Dwight cried. He said "ba-ird." "Fine!" cried Cornish. "Why, Miss Lulu, you have a good voice!" "Miss Lulu Bett, the mocking ba-ird!" Dwight insisted.
