The Frankses remained at rest until the funeral was over, and then Hester would have father and sons go out to follow their calling, while the mother and she did what could be done for the ailing baby, who could not linger long behind Moxy. Hester had a little money of her own not much, but enough to restore to decency, with the help of the wife's fingers, the wardrobe of the family.
The great room was for the mean time given over to the Frankses. The wife kept everything tidy, and they managed things their own way. Hester made inquiry now and then, to be sure they were having everything they wanted, but left them to provide for themselves. She did her best to help Amy without letting her brother suspect her presence, and by degrees she got the room more comfortable for them.
"But how strange it is you should know your own house so imperfectly! I fancy the young couple, having got into some difficulty, found entrance the same way the Frankses did; only they went farther and fared better! to the top of the house, I mean. They've managed to make themselves pretty comfortable too! There is something peculiar about them I can hardly say what in a word."
The next time she went to see the Frankses, which was not for four or five days, she found they were gone. They had told Mrs. Baldwin that they were sorry to leave, but they must look for a cheaper lodging a better they could not hope to find; and as the Baldwins had just had an application for the rooms, they felt they must let them go.
