"May I read Cousin Ann's aloud?" asked Nancy, who had her private reasons for making the offer. MAY I READ COUSIN ANNS ALOUD ASKED NANCY WHO HAD HER PRIVATE REASONS FOR MAKING THE OFFER
House attractive and convenient was to move forward at once. Up to now, the unpacking and distribution of the furniture, with the daily housework and cooking, had been all that Mrs. Carey and the girls could manage. A village Jack-of-all-trades, Mr. Ossian Popham, generally and familiarly called "Osh" Popham, had been called in to whitewash existing closets and put hooks in them; also, with Bill Harmon's consent, to make new ones here and there in handy corners. Dozens of shelves in odd spaces helped much in the tidy stowing away of household articles, bed-clothing, and stores. In the midst of this delightful and cheery setting-to-rights a letter arrived from Cousin Ann. The family was all sitting together in Mrs. Carey's room, the announced intention being to hold an important meeting of the Ways and Means Committee, the Careys being strong on ways and uniformly short on means. The arrival of the letters by the hand of Bill Harmon's boy occurred before the meeting was called to order.
