"Her grandmarm was in town," said she, "but if she was in the room she must have been asleep, or dreadful deaf, for I pounded with all my might. I'm sorry, for I'd like to scrape acquaintance with her, bein' we're connected." An audible groan came from beneath the thick brown veil, whereupon both ladies turned their heads.
The special brand of craziness in Wellmouth that season was collecting "antiques," the same being busted chairs and invalid bureaus and sofys that your great grandmarm got ashamed of and sent to the sickbay a thousand year ago. Oh, yes, and dishes!
"Is he a good boy?" asked Mrs. Rheid. "Oh, yes," said Marjorie, "he brings his Bible downstairs and reads every night. I like everything but doing his mending, and mother says I must learn to do that. Now, grandma, please go on."

"What was your grandmother's aunt's name?" asked Durward. "Susan Howard," returned Joel. "The Howards were a stuck-up set, grandmarm and all not a bit like t'other side of the family. My mother's name was Scovandyke " "And yours?" interrupted Durward.

Nobody helped her, she did it all herself. She did it with her own old fingers and her own blind eyes. I'll drop too many stitches while I talk, so I'll let you hold it for me.
Marm and grandmarm liked it better. "Deary me!" ejaculated grandma, "it's an age since you were here." "A whole week," declared Marjorie, standing on tiptoe to hang up her sack and hat on a hook near the shelves. "Nobody much comes in and it seems longer," complained the old lady. "I think she's very good to come once a week," said Hollis' sad-faced mother.
