"When you've found where anythin' ain't," she said to herself, "you've gone a long way toward findin' where 't is. It's just like Ebeneezer to have hid it." She took down the pictures, which were mainly family portraits, life-size, presented to the master of the house by devoted relatives, and rapidly unframed them. In one of them she found a sealed envelope, which she eagerly tore open.
Dear Uncle Ebeneezer was a distinguished patron of the arts. Our country needs more men like him, men with fine appreciation, vowed to the service of the Ideal. If you will pardon me, I will now retire to my apartment and remain there a short time in seclusion." So saying, he ran lightly upstairs, as one who was thoroughly at home. "Who in " began Harlan. "Mr.
I believe Rebbie is going to be a philanthropist, or a college-settlement worker. See, she is trying to give the doll the molasses the very best part of it. Did you ever see such a beautiful spirit in one so young?" Before Mrs. Carr could answer, young Ebeneezer had finished his wood carving and had grabbed his protesting twin by the hair. "There, there, Rebbie," soothed the mother, "don't cry.
"I love Uncle Ebeneezer and Aunt Rebecca," went on Dorothy, happily. "I love everybody. I've love enough to-night to spare some for the whole world." "Dear little saint," said Harlan, softly, "I believe you have." The clock struck ten and the fire died down. A candle flickered in its socket, then went out.
The portraits of Uncle Ebeneezer and Aunt Rebecca seemed fully in accord, and, though mute, eloquent with understanding. "He'd be so proud," whispered Dorothy, looking up at the stern face over the mantel, "if he knew what you had done here in his house. He loved books, and now, because of his kindness, you can always write them. You'll never have to go back on the paper again."
"Rebecca had a big diamond pin," said Mrs. Dodd, after a brief silence, "that she allers said was to be mine when she got through with it. Ebeneezer give it to her for a weddin' present. You ain't seen it layin' around, have you?" "No, I haven't seen it 'laying around," retorted Dorothy, conscious that she was juggling with the truth. "Well," continued Mrs.
Was not aware my Rebecca had a blood relation named Elmira, but there is much in the world that I do not know." According to the diary, Cousin Elmira had remained six weeks and had greatly distressed her unwilling host. "Women are peculiar," Uncle Ebeneezer had written, "all being possessed of the devil, except my sainted Rebecca, who was an angel if there ever was one.
Holmes, Rebecca Judson's own cousin, and I have spent the Summer here ever since Rebecca was married! I guess if Ebeneezer knew you were practically ordering his wife's own cousin out of his house, he'd rise from his grave to haunt you!" Dorothy fancied that Uncle Ebeneezer's portrait moved slightly. Aunt Rebecca still surveyed the room from the easel, gentle, sweet-faced, and saintly.
Taking down curtains and keeping lights in windows nights should have some effect, though much doubt whether anything would affect Relations." Soon afterward the oppressed one chronicled with great glee how a lone female, arriving on the night train, was found half-dead from fright by the roadside in the morning. "House is fearsome," wrote Uncle Ebeneezer, with evident relish.
"Ebeneezer must have mistook the room," she said to herself, "but how could he unless his mind was failin'? I've had this now, goin' on ten year." In the night she dreamed of finding money in the bureau, and got up to see if by chance she had not received mysterious guidance from an unknown source.
