"Where on earth did you get that portrait?" she exclaimed, as Miss Ludington, after taking her on a tour through the house before tea, brought her into the sitting-room. "Whom does it remind you of?" asked Miss Ludington. "I know whom it reminds me of," replied Mrs. Slater; "but how it ever got here is what puzzles me."
Slater came forward slowly, dragging his clothes-bag with him. The two shook hands. "What in the world are you doing here, Tom?" "Nothing!" said Slater. He had a melancholy cast of feature, utterly out of keeping with his rotund form. In his eye was the somber glow of a soul at war with the flesh. "Nothing?"

Again, on rare occasions she completely upset all his preconceived notions by being so friendly and so sympathetic that she made him homesick for his own daughter.
