Marilla was not without her little vanities, and being thought youthful was one of the chief desires of her heart. So Mrs. Thacher went away lighter hearted than she came.

Hezekiah Usher, known to the reader as an ancient magistrate of fair consideration, was complained of; and Mrs. Thacher, mother-in-law of Corwin, the justice who had taken the earliest examinations.
