He looked gentle and happy. Every thing was prepared for the morrow, so that this evening would be spent in quiet.
But to Nannie they brought back memories of years of happiness, through which little feet, in just the same sort of slippers, had pattered, stumbling here, falling there, picked up, and guided by her.
