By the time the story reached Trumet Neck it seemed to be fairly certain that all the Dott relatives on both sides of the house had passed away, leaving the sole survivors of the family all the money and property in the world, with a few trifling exceptions.
The minister awoke with a guilty start. He realized that his sentence had broken off in the middle. "Why! why er yes," he stammered. "I was saying that that I don't know what I should have done without Mrs. Coffin. She's a treasure. Frankly, she is the only real friend I have found in Trumet." "I know. I feel the same way about her. She means so much to me.
Some one rushed down the walk. And then a girl's voice cried in alarm: "What is it? Who is it? What IS the matter?" And from the bundle of legs and arms on the ground two voices exclaimed: "GERTIE!" "But where IS your father?" asked Sam. Issy asked nothing. He merely sat still and listened. "Why, he's at Trumet. At least I suppose he is. Mrs.
Come with me, quick, afore the train starts. "Still I didn't say anything, nothin' sane anyhow. 'Keziah! I managed to stutter. "'Come! says she. 'Hurry! I want you to get off here. I've come here on purpose to meet you. I must talk with you; it's important. You can go to Trumet on the next train, to-night. But now I must talk with you. I MUST. Won't you please come, Nat? "Well, I went.
Now let's talk about somethin' interestin'; about ourselves, for instance. How do you like bein' back here in Trumet? Ain't gettin' tired of it, are you? The old town doesn't seem stupid; hey?" "No, indeed! Don't speak that way, Daniel." "Well, I just mentioned it, that's all. Soon as you do get tired and want to see somethin' new, we'll take that cruise to Washin'ton or the Falls or somewheres.
Black did most of the talking; Serena was content to listen and pretend to understand. "This is to be an open meeting, Mrs. Dott," said Annette graciously. "You see, we have open meetings, just as you do in Trumet, although I doubt if you find much resemblance between the two. You'd scarcely expect that, would you? Ha! ha!
We played the Trumet High School, and beat it, thanks to Parker, and that tickled Pa Robinson so that he bought a two-handled silver soup tureen 'lovin' cup, he called it and agreed to give it to the team round about that won the most of the series. So the series was arranged, the Old Home House crowd and the Wapatomac House eleven and three high-school gangs bein' in it.

I was up to the depot and see him buy his ticket and git on the cars." "Did, hey? Humph! So Sam's gone. Gertie Higgins still over to her Aunt Hannah's at Trumet?" Issy looked at his questioner.
And you and Mother can be together and take little trips together once in a while. You mustn't stay in Trumet ALL the time; if you do you will grow discontented again." "No, no, I shan't. Serena may, perhaps, but I shan't." "Yes, you will. You both have seen a little of outside life now, and it isn't all bad, though you may think so just at this time.
The survivors of the San Jose's crew, a wretched, panic-stricken quartette of mulattos and Portuguese, were apprehended on the outskirts of Denboro, the town below Trumet on the bay side, and were promptly sequestered and fumigated, pending shipment to the hospital at Boston.
