Seabrook took rooms for himself and family near by this was his "plan," that they all three have class instruction together for such an arrangement would be more convenient for them than to try to go back and forth, each day, and also give them more time for study.
"Will would never forgive me for putting them into your hands." Mrs. Seabrook sat suddenly erect. "I am not a child that I must have my reading selected for me," she retorted, spiritedly. "But, I can buy them." "Dear, I wouldn't force you to that expense to gain your point," said her brother, as he tenderly laid his arm around her shoulders.
With this amelioration of my labors, the burden could be easily borne for the sake of the profits." "What business was Mr. Seabrook in?" "I never thought of the subject at that time. He was always well dressed; associated with men of business; seemed to have money; and I never doubted that such a man was able to do anything he proposed.
Seabrook!" she faltered, "I didn't mean I was only thinking of what I said to Katherine about being a Christian Scientist the day she came here. I told her, very grandly, that I was an Episcopalian, that my grandfather was an Episcopalian clergyman, and I had my doubts about his resting easy in his grave if he knew what a rank heretic I had for a roommate.
"Can it be possible," I was forced to exclaim, "that there was no help for you?" "You see how it was. I have outlined the bare facts to you. Nobody wanted to be mixed up in my troubles, and the worst of it was that Mr. Seabrook got more sympathy than I did, as the unfortunate husband of a terrible termagant, who made his life a burden to him.

Seabrook was now all that; and when, with her skirt hitched up, feeding the chickens, she heard the bell for service or funeral, that was Seabrook's voice the voice of the dead. The rooster had been known to fly on her shoulder and peck her neck, so that now she carried a stick or took one of the children with her when she went to feed the fowls.
