Meanwhile aunt Hannah went into the out-room that in which her sister Anna died, and kneeling down, with her hands pressed on the bottom of a chair, broke into a passion so deep and earnest that her whole frame shook with the agony of her struggle. She arose at length and began to walk the floor, wringing her hands and moaning as if in pain.
"This way take a seat in the out-room till I go call Miss Hannah," cried Salina, pushing open the front door that grated and groaned as if reluctant to admit such guests. "This door!" Salina pushed the out-room door open as she spoke, and to her surprise found not only aunt Hannah, but the whole family.
A telegraphic signal brought the young men from the out-room, and off the company fluttered in pairs toward the barn making the starlight melodious with their laughter. Merrily merrily went the night The laugh rang out And a gleeful shout, Shook the autumn leaves in that starry light. In their haste the young people had left the strange youth seated in the chair, in a dark end of the porch.
A long table, loaded down with every domestic cake or pie known in the country, was stretched the whole length of the out-room.
Everything was still as death. I stood at the out-room door and listened. There was no noise. I thought it was the storm that drowned everything, and opened the door. Hannah was not there, nor Salina either, but a window had blown open, and in drifted the rain and wind over the bed that stood close by it poor Anna's bed.
