Mother has crocheted several things for me, but most of them are in shell-stitch, which, after all, is about the only stitch I care for. Lots of love from YOUR COUSIN HELEN After a dazed five minutes of letter-reading, the four children hurried to the attic always their refuge for a conference. There they read the four letters aloud, one after another. A dumfounded silence followed the last word.
This is what she read: My dear Rose: Thank you very much for the tidy, dear, but whatever in the world caused you to make it in that stitch? I like shell-stitch ever so much better, so would you mind doing it over for me? I am returning this one, for maybe you will decide to ravel it out; if you don't, you can just make me a new one.
I had been told how Aunt Cornie More had made her own shroud from her crocheted parlour curtains, lest these fall to a later wife of her octogenarian husband; and how as she lay in her coffin the curtain's shell-stitch parrot "come right acrost her chest." This woman beside me had called her "Aunt" Cornie More.
