His own father was supposed to smoke but once a week, on Sunday, and then a cigar such as even a male Bunker might reputably burn. But a pipe, and between the lips of Grammer! She managed it with deftness and exhaled clouds of smoke into the still air of evening with a relish most painful to her amazed descendant. Yet she inspired him with an unholy ambition.
Then on the lower shelf, when Grammer, relying on his honour, had left the room, he made his wondrous discovery a thing more beautiful than ever he had dreamed of beauty; a thing that caught all the light in the room and shot it back like a risen sun; a thing that excited, enchained, satisfied with a satisfaction so deep that somehow it became pain.
Yet he foresaw complications. His ownership might be stupidly denied. He went in to drag Grammer again before the whatnot, his mind sharpened to subtlety. "Are everything there yours?" He pointed to the top shelf. "Everything!" He lowered the pointing finger to the second shelf. "Are everything there yours?" "All of 'em!" "Everything there?" "Yes, yes!" "And this one, too?"
No day passed that he did not contrive at least one look at his wonderful shell, but he craftily did not linger there, nor did he ever utter words about the thing, though these often crowded perilously to his lips. A later day brought a letter to Grammer, and Gramper delightedly let it be known that the doctor at Wellsville had brought little Bean a fine new baby brother.
'I can see that, said the doctor, laughing, 'although you are altered. You have grown quite a man! I am very glad to see you, he repeated, shaking hands with him again. 'When did you come to town? 'I hae been at the grammer school i' the auld toon for the last three months, said Robert. 'Three months! exclaimed Dr. Anderson. 'And never came to see me till now!
And as for myselfe, I was about six years old, and could understand no more French or Perigordine than Arabike; and that without art, without bookes, rules, or grammer, without whipping or whining, I had gotten as pure a Latin tongue as my Master could speake; the rather because I could neither mingle or confound the same with other tongues.
It was about this moment that Grace heard the household below preparing to retire, the most emphatic noise in the proceeding being that of her father bolting the doors. Then the stairs creaked, and her father and mother passed her chamber. The last to come was Grammer Oliver. Grace slid out of bed, ran across the room, and lifting the latch, said, "I am not asleep, Grammer.
Grammer opened the "front room" for him, no small concession, for this room was never put to vulgar use; rarely entered, indeed, save once a month for dusting. Here he found an atmosphere in keeping with his own chastened gloom, a musty air of mortality and twilight.
No sooner had he followed the timber-merchant in at the door than he heard Grammer inform him that Mrs. Fitzpiers was still more unwell than she had been in the morning. Old Dr. Jones being in the neighborhood they had called him in, and he had instantly directed them to get her to bed.
