"Oh! mother," replied Nannie in a sad tone, "it's May Minturn's, she that loved our baby, and she's gone where Winnie is; and her mother's such a pale sweet lady! She gave me this, because she said May and Winnie are as sisters up in heaven." That was such a pleasant thought to Mrs. Bates.
Going to his room, he secured his copy of "Science and Health," and, retracing his steps, settled himself to read by the table in the hall, which was often used as a sitting room. As he sat down he observed that Mrs. Minturn's wrapper and the tray had disappeared; then he became absorbed in his book.
All the hemlocks, oaks, and dogwood thrived as if conscious that theirs had been no ordinary transplanting; while Minturn's half- jesting prophecy concerning the travellers in the valley was amply fulfilled. "Jack, she played with me deliberately, heartlessly. I can never forgive her." "In that case, Will, I congratulate you.
Minturn's house, to be sure, was grand and magnificent, and abounded in every thing that was costly and elegant, and yet, to Nannie, the square attic room with its modest apurtenances was far more beautiful and attractive.
As I was talking with him, a very muddy and dusty car pulled up at the door and a young man whose face was marred by the red congested blood vessels that are in some a mark of dissipation burst in on us. "What closed up yet Joe?" he asked. "Haven't they taken Minturn's body away?"

Meantime Bob had come, and been set at work. He did not board at Mr. Minturn's.
