MacCall was housekeeper and she mothered the orphaned Kenway girls and seemed much nearer to them than Aunt Sarah Maltby, who sat most of her time in the big front room upstairs, seldom speaking to her nieces. Mrs. MacCall was buxom, gray-haired and every hair was martialed just so, and all imprisoned in a cap when the good lady was cooking.
She might, as Joe affirmed, be the best sea-boat out of Kenway Cove, but she was certainly not a fast craft, and was inclined to make as much way to leeward as she did ahead.

She clenched her little red hands, bit her lower lip, and stamped her worn shoe upon the walk. Hatred of all mankind not alone of the woman who had so wickedly befooled her was welling up in little Sadie Goronofsky's heart. It was then that Ruth Kenway put her arm around the little Jewish girl's shoulders and led her away to Mrs. Kranz's back parlor.
