Course she didn't live there, her father thought she was visitin' him, I guess likely, but she was with Cap'n Lote and Olive most of the time. Rachel says she never made a fuss, you understand, just was there and helped and was quiet and soft-spoken and capable and and comfortin', that's about the word, I guess.

He said, and believed, though it haint so, but the Deacon believed it, "that I looked younger than I did the day I wuz married." I told him "I didn't feel so young."
It's drefful comfortin' work, Miss 'Vadney." The chill March wind blew fiercely along the streets of Marlborough one afternoon and Evadne shivered.
