"Ada was born out west and lived there until she was eight years old, when her parents died and she was sent east to her father's half-sister. And Ada looks like you she always reminded me of somebody I had seen, but I never could decide who it was before. Oh, I hope it is true, for Ada is such a sweet girl, Mrs. Knowles." "She couldn't be anything else if she is Ada Frame's daughter," said Mrs.
Ruggles, which was also her kitchen and dining-hall, hung a frame containing a seven-by-nine mirror, which was the frame's excuse for being, although a compartment above and one below held squares of glass covered with paint instead of mercury.

I gets nothing on 'em, whichever you takes, so please yourself. Take 'Joseph and his Bretheren. The frame's worth twice the money. Take the other, too, and I'll take sixpence off the pair, and be out of pocket to please you."
