Your mother is now sailing on silvery water; breathing an atmosphere perfumed with celestial spices; and sitting in a canoe made from the bark of trees growing on the shores of Canaan's stream. Her wigwam will be made of the same kind of bark and ornamented with pearls and precious stones. She will wear a neck-lace of jewels and on her head will be a crown of glory."
If I have not heard a woman cry and moan, and then again laugh as though she would die laughing, I have heard sounds so like them that I am a fool to confess it I have covered my head with the bedclothes; for I have had a fancy in my dreams, that I could hardly shake off when I woke up, about that so-called witch that was his great-grandmother, or whatever it was, a sort of fancy that she visited the Little Gentleman, a young woman in old-fashioned dress, with a red ring round her white neck, not a neck-lace, but a dull-stain.
Sheriff had kindly added mutton-chops to the déjeûner, while his amiable lady furnished new-laid eggs from the family corn-chandler. But to return to my mother.

The jacket was edged with scarlet cloth and reached to her waist. Around her full neck hung a double row of beads, to which was attached a gold cross, and on each wrist she wore a bracelet of beads similar to the neck-lace. A wampum band circled her head. Inside the band were three beautiful feathers from the wing of a wild pigeon.
Friday, Went again, about 7. a-clock; found there Mr. John Walley and his wife: sat discoursing pleasantly. Madam W. serv'd Comfeits to us. I urg'd Mr. Walley to Crave a Blessing; but he put it upon me. About 9. they went away. I ask'd Madam what fashioned Neck-lace I should present her with, She said, None at all.
