He's a sort of relation, a nephew of Aunt Laviny's." "Oh, oh, I see I see." There was something in the tone which caused Captain Dan to ask a question in return. "Know him, do you?" he inquired.

Your Great-aunt Laviny's dead, Gertie." He told of the lawyer's letter, omitting for the present the news of the legacy. Gertrude was interested, but not greatly shocked or grieved.
You see, we've got a cousin out West out Pennsylvany way and he ain't very well and has got a turrible lot of money. I'm sort of surmisin' that Laviny's writin' to him. We're about his only relations that's left alive and and so " "I see." The minister smiled. "Yup. Laviny's a pretty good navigator, fur's keepin' an eye to wind'ard is concerned.
You see, trade ain't been first rate this summer, and collections were awful slow. I hate to drive folks, especially when I know they're hard up. I was a little worried, but it's all right now. Aunt Laviny's three thousand fixed that all right. It'll carry me along like a full sail breeze. You go back to school, like a sensible girl, and don't you worry a mite. It's all right now, Gertie."
How did Laviny come to let you I mean how'd you come to wear a beaver such a mornin's this?" Kyan removed the silk hat and inspected its limp grandeur ruefully. "I I " he began.

"Why, what do you mean? As I recollect Aunt Laviny's place, 'twas just as good as that, if not better. You said so yourself. You used to call it a regular palace."
"Well, Aunt Keziah," she said, "I'm ever and ever so glad for you. I know you didn't want to leave Trumet and I'm sure everyone will be delighted when they learn that you're going to stay."
