A clear, musi- cal voice, with that effect of distinctness without loud- ness which marks the cultured class, was heard by those within, asking: " Is Captain Hamlin in the house? " " Do ye mean Perez? " parleyed Elnathan. "Yes." " I b'lieve he's somewheres 'raound. He's aout doin' up the chores, I guess. Did ye want ter see him? " " If you please. " "Wal, come in, won't ye, an' sit daown, an' I'll go aout arter him," said Elnathan, backing in and making way for the guest to enter. " It's the Ed...wards gal," he continued, in a feebly in- troductory manner, as Desire entered. Mrs. Hamlin hastily let down her sleeves, and glanced, a little shamefacedly, at her linsey-woolsey short gown and coarse petticoat, and then about the room, which was in some disorder, a condition not to be wondered at considering the sudden increase of her household cares. But it was, nevertheless, with native dignity that she greeted her guest and set her a chair, not allowing herself to be put out by the rather fastidious way in which Desire held up her skirts.
