Van Brunt had called "the Nose," they could see through an opening in the mountains, a bit of the western horizon, and some brightness still lingering there; but it was soon hid from view, and darkness veiled the whole country. Ellen could amuse herself no longer with looking about; she could see nothing very clearly but the outline of Mr. Van Brunt's broad back, just before her.
And if others thought her so, it was not because she laughed loudly or wore a merry face. "I can't help but think," said Mrs. Van Brunt, "that that child has something more to make her happy that what she gets in this world." There was a quilting party gathered that afternoon at Mrs. Van Brunt's house. "There is no doubt of that, neighbour," said Mrs.
Brunt's worn eyes began already to gleam and sparkle. "Yis, I recolleck very well, Mrs. Jellison. She wor Mercy Moss, an' a goodish deal of trouble you'd use to get me into wi' Mercy Moss, all along o' your tricks." Mrs. Jellison, still with folded arms, began to rock herself gently up and down as though to stimulate memory.
I'm afraid you'll catch cold you got your feet wet after all, I'm sure." Run they did; and a few minutes brought them to Mrs. Van Brunt's door.
Other than this there was no manner of difference in anything without or within the house. Mr. Van Brunt's being absolutely speechless was not a very uncommon thing. "The clouds return after the rain." As soon as she could, Ellen carried this wonderful news to Alice, and eagerly poured out the whole story, her walk and all. She was somewhat disappointed at the calmness of her hearer.
