His father was lying upon the bed, in his underclothes, face downward, and Uncle Gideon sat near by, swinging backward and forward in a rocking-chair, stroking his long white beard and gazing at the ceiling as he talked. Bibbs beckoned him urgently, but Uncle Gideon paid no attention. "Bildad the Shuhite spake and his says, 'If thy children have sinned against Him and He have cast them away "

Papa's got some of his business friends and people from around the OLD-house neighborhood coming to-night for a big dinner and 'house-warming' dreadful kind of people but mamma's got it all on her hands.
