CHAPTER Viii.
The Anniversary.


About this time Blossy developed o
tendency to draw Brother Abraham
aside at every opportunity, convenient
or inconvenient, in order to put such
questions as these TO him:
Didn't you say It is fully thirty.flve
years since you and Captain Darby
were on the beach together? DO you
think be has grown much older? Had
he lost his hair then? Did he care
for the opposite sex? Was he very
brave-or would you say more brave
than stubborn and contrary? Isn't II
q blessing that never married him?'
Fearful OF the ridicule of the sisters
Bloesy was always careful to conduct
these inquiries In whispers, or at least
In undertones with great observance
OF secrecy, sometimes stopping Abe on
the stairs, sometimes reckoning him
to her side when she was busy about
her household tasks on the pretense OF
requiring his assistance. On one oc'
casion she even went 80 far as to in
veigle him into holding a skeln oil
wool about his clumsy hands, while
she wound the violet worsted into q
ball, and delicately inquired II he be
