the old gentleman talking to himself
In the library. At first. thinking that
he was reading aloud, permitted my

known that of which you have seen
evidence ever since father came to live
with me. He ever has my mother

Whether he sees her spirit, whether he
fancies that it is present with him,
whether he hears her replies when he
talks to her-all this is puzzle to me.
/ have often heard him talking to her
as you heard him, and he says the
same things to her that he was used to
saying while she lived. only they are
more endearing. He was always dur
ing her life as gallant to her as when
they were young lovers, and when he
fancies she is with him he will not sit
while she stands, will not go through
doorway without waiting till she has
gone before him. have seen him
come into the house after having been
out OF an evening and remove her
wraps as tenderly as he ever did while
she was with him In the flesh. He had
