The housewarming could not be until the later autumn, Mrs. Carey had decided, for although most of the living rooms could be finished, Cousin Ann's expensive improvements were not to be set in motion until Bill Harmon heard from Mr. Hamilton that his tenants were not to be disturbed for at least three years. THE HOUSEWARMING COULD NOT BE UNTIL THE LATER AUTUMN MISSUS CAREY HAD DECIDED FOR ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE LIVING ROOMS COULD BE FINISHED COUSIN ANN'S EXPENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS WERE NOT TO BE SET IN MOTION UNTIL BILL HARMON HEARD FROM MISTER HAMILTON THAT HIS TENANTS WERE NOT TO BE DISTURBED FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS
 many wanderings; here all the quaint chairs that Mr. Bill Harmon could pick up at a small price; here were two noble fireplaces, one with a crane and iron pot filled with flowers, the other filled sometimes with sprays of green asparagus and sometimes with fragrant hemlock boughs. The paper was one in which green rushes and cat-o'-nine-tails grew on a fawn-colored ground, and anything that the Careys did not possess for the family sitting room Ossian Popham went straight home and made in his barn. He could make a barrel-chair or an hour-glass table, a box lounge and the mattress to put on top of it, or a low table for games and puzzles, or a window seat. He could polish the piano and then sit down to it and play "Those Tassels on Her Boots" or "Marching through Georgia" with great skill. He could paint bunches of gold grapes and leaves on the old-fashioned high-backed rocker, and, as soon as it was dry, could sit down in it and entertain the whole family without charging them a penny.
