Jocelyn suggested that they should remain in the country, and even that they should rent a small cottage in Forestville or elsewhere, but his gentle wife soon proved that on some occasions she could be decided. "No, Martin," she said, with the quiet emphasis which reveals a purpose not to be combated, "one thing is settled there must be no more separation.
Tears of gratified feeling were in Belle's eyes, but she said brusquely, "Not versed in society's ways! Account, then, for that fashionable suit of clothes you are wearing." "They were not cut in Forestville," he replied dryly.
"What made you have the seat so narrow, Roger?" asked Sue; "you couldn't squeeze three people in to save your life." "I'm content with one girl at a time," replied Roger, with a complacent shrug. "And the same girl only one time, too, from what I hear. You've taken out all there are in Forestville haven't you?" "Haven't got quite around yet.
If I shall ever have any power in the world it will be in seeing clearly what is before me. I have seldom been away from this country town, and yet as soon as I saw you with a mind free from prejudice I recognized your superiority.

Twice during the winter she went with Roger to Forestville, and she had her little brother and sister spend the Christmas week with her.

The two o'clock express from Redlands to Forestville, Georgia, had been proceeding with the languid placidity of the river whose banks it skirted for more than two hours.
"She doesn't fancy us barbarians, I suppose, and Forestville to her is a howling wilderness. Like enough she'll take me for an Indian." Mildred's eyes were fixed on a great shaggy mountain in the west, that was all the more dark and forbidding in its own deep shadow. She did not see it, however, for her mind was dwelling on gloomier shadows than the mountain cast.
The old man's face was haggard and drawn as he returned to Forestville with his two helpless burdens, grieving far more for the one that was ill than for the one that was dead. "It's turning out just as brother Ezra said," he growled. "A man's a fool to mix himself up with other people's troubles."
