Major Buford was still in prison, Miss Lucy was dead, and Jerome Conners seemed master of the house and farm. General Dean had been killed, had been sent home, and was buried in the garden. It was only two days after the burial, Harry said, that Margaret and her mother had to leave their home. Even the bandages that Mrs.
"I guess we all are," broke in Tom. "Just the same, I agree with Dick. The financial outlook is mighty gloomy." There were other letters besides business communications for the boys.
