It had no snow capped mountains in the distance; no amethyst foothills to enchain the eye; no wonderful canyons and splendid rocky passes to make the tourist marvel; no length of yellow sea sands nor plash of ocean surf; no trade, no amusements, no summer visitors;  it was just a quiet, little, sunny, verdant, leafy piece of heart's content, that's what Beulah was, and Julia couldn't spoil it; indeed, the odds were, that it would sweeten Julia!

u Dirty Boy. I don't know what's the matter with me. My blood seems to be too red, and it courses wildly through my veins, as the books say. I am going to turn over a new leaf, now that Cousin Ann's gone and our only cross is Julia!" Oh! but it is rather dreadful to think how one person can spoil the world! If only you could have seen the Yellow House after Cousin Ann went! If only you could have heard the hotel landlady exclaim as she drove past: "Well! Good riddance to bad rubbish!" The weather grew warmer outside almost at once, and Bill Harmon's son planted the garden. The fireplaces ceased to smoke and the kitchen stove drew. Colonel Wheeler suggested a new chain pump instead of the old wooden one, after which the water took a turn for the better, and before the month was ended the Yellow House began to look like home, notwithstanding Julia. As for Beulah village, after its sleep of months under deep snow-drifts it had waked into the adorable beauty of an early New England summer.  I TRIED TO GET RID OF YOU DIRTY BOY I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ME MY BLOOD SEEMS TO BE TOO RED AND IT COURSES WILDLY THROUGH MY VEINS AS THE BOOKS SAY I AM GOING TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF NOW THAT COUSIN ANN'S GONE AND OUR ONLY CROSS IS JULIA OH BUT IT IS RATHER DREADFUL TO THINK HOW ONE PERSON CAN SPOIL THE WORLD IF ONLY YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THE YELLOW HOUSE AFTER COUSIN ANN WENT IF ONLY YOU COULD HAVE HEARD THE HOTEL LANDLADY EXCLAIM AS SHE DROVE PAST WELL GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH THE WEATHER GREW WARMER OUTSIDE ALMOST AT ONCE AND BILL HARMON'S SON PLANTED THE GARDEN THE FIREPLACES CEASED TO SMOKE AND THE KITCHEN STOVE DREW COLONEL WHEELER SUGGESTED A NEW CHAIN PUMP INSTEAD OF THE OLD WOODEN ONE AFTER WHICH THE WATER TOOK A TURN FOR THE BETTER AND BEFORE THE MONTH WAS ENDED THE YELLOW HOUSE BEGAN TO LOOK LIKE HOME NOTWITHSTANDING JULIA AS FOR BEULAH VILLAGE AFTER ITS SLEEP OF MONTHS UNDER DEEP SNOW DRIFTS IT HAD WAKED INTO THE ADORABLE BEAUTY OF AN EARLY NEW ENGLAND SUMMER
