"Why, the sailor thinks his father's dead. Get your hat, Kirk." "We're going to an auction," Felicia explained. "A 'vandew'," Ken corrected. "You and Phil are, that is, to buy shoes and ships and sealing-wax, and a chair for my room that won't fall down when I sit in it, and crockery ware and I guarantee you'll come home with a parlor organ and a wax fruit-piece under a glass case."

And meantime he and Corydon were packing up. They drove to another "vandew", and purchased more odds and ends of household stuff; and Thyrsis had his little study loaded upon a wagon, and taken to the new place.
