the sitting room where we were
playing Authors, but instead
called mv mother out Into the hall
Then the two of them went Into
the parlor and closed the door be
hind them. Saturday was my
father's busiest day. His coming
home meant something important.
Going into the parlor portended
the momentous. We were all agog.
"Mnybe someone's dead," Julia
suggested cheerfully.
At first we could make out al

A note meant D'lotter. A letter
brought news. Julia was right, I

left us a fortune. I would take a
trip to Europe. I would go on the

Cousin Victoria was my futher's

house called Balmoral on the
other side of the Junction. She
had bcon born on the birthday of
the Queen whose name she bore,
and that circumstance had colored
her entire existence, for it gave
her, she felt, a real prerogative.
She had always told us that every

'THE front door closed, and my
-1 mother, her cheeks very
flushed, came back into 'the sit
ting room. "Girls," the said, "I
have news for yon."
Two flounces, maybe. , , .
"Yes, Mama," we chorused.
f'Jim McClure has left town,"
she told us.
I felt terribly let down. So, I
could see, did Sue and Julia. Jim
McClure was a little pinkish man,
and all three of us had viewed
him with distaste. His leaving did
not move us. . Certainly, we
thought, it did not Justify the
parlor. ,
"He left bills behind him," my
mother went on. J
That didn't Impress us, either.
Bills meant little in our life. My
father sent them out occasionally,
and people paid them in their own
way. sometimes it was wiuv wooa
or potatoes, sometimes with
weekly deliveries of fish and eggs.
The grocer was my father's pa
tient. So was the barber and the
butcher and the cobbler and the
paperhanger. Every once in a
while he would get together with
one or another of them for squar
ing things.
"Big bills," my mother repeated
gravely. "Bills that your father
will have to pay in cash."
We sobered. Our cash was gone,
and we knew it. It had gone to
buy the American House, to re
pair and to paint it. To buy horses
and carriages for the stable. Cash
did not come easily. '
Your father did what ne
thought best at the time," my
mother continued. She never
criticized him, at least in our
hearing. "But things have turned
out badly. He has spent all of his
money, and now he has had to
borrow $500 dollars from the
bank."
Then the note didn't concern

were brought up to believe there
was something suspicious about
people who moved around. -
"It's only for the summer," roy
mother hurried on. "By August
your father will have other plans." .
She paused and sighed. ."It will
be very different from our life
here."
My mother's eyes fell to the .
marble top of the table; "You will
probably hear and see things, liv
ing there."
The room seemed warmer. - I .
looked down at my shoes, fearful
of smiling, though there was noth
ing funny anywhere. . .
"Hear and see things," she re
peated. Wild things had happened at the
American House. There were still
stories, . . . People still talked
about the carpets and the bath
room, the parlor and the dumb
waiter. Even though my father
owned it, my mother had never
allowed us to go Inside. Now we
could see with our own eyes. . , .
Hear with our own ears. ...
"And if you do," she went on,
suddenly severe, "I want you to
remember your upbringing. If I
could only be sure of that. . . ."

a lot of things that will Just have
to be brought right back again,"
she warned. ' -.
The day was dull and chilly.
At 9 o'clock my father came' for
us with the surrey. We got in
gravely and sat throughout the
ride in silence. For the first time
I could remember we had locked
our door. And we had lacked It
