When a telegram arrives from the west with news of an impending visit from Crete's and Carrie's nephew, Donald Grant, Carrie and Luella are not pleased at all.

"WHO'S at the front door?" asked Luella's mother, coming in from the kitchen with a dish-towel in her hand. "I thought I heard the door-bell."

She thought Carrie and Luella had come back, and were about to snatch Donald away from her and bear him off to the shore. She arose in haste and smoothed her hair, astonished at the freshness of her own face in the glass. She was afraid she had overslept and lost some of the precious time with Donald. There was so much to ask him, and he was so good to look at. She hurried down and was received warmly. Donald's meditations had culminated in a plan. "Sit down, Aunt Crete; are you sure you are rested? Then I want to talk. Suppose we run down to the shore and surprise the folks. How soon could you be ready?" "0 dear heart! I couldn't do that!" exclaimed Aunt Crete, her face nevertheless alight with pleasure at the very thought. "Why not? What's to hinder?" "O, I never go. I always stay at home and attend to things."

Her sister could easily look over her head into the hall, and her gaze was penetrative and alert.“I'm sure I don't know, Carrie,” said Lucretia apprehensively; “but I'm all of a tremble.
