Beulah is so far from Buffalo that Cousin Ann cannot visit us often, and never without warning. I should not like to offend her or hurt her feelings, but I think we'll keep You Dirty Boy and the mantel ornaments in the attic for the present, or the barn chamber. What do you say?" BEULAH IS SO FAR FROM BUFFALO THAT COUSIN ANN CANNOT VISIT US OFTEN AND NEVER WITHOUT WARNING I SHOULD NOT LIKE TO OFFEND HER OR HURT HER FEELINGS BUT I THINK WE'LL KEEP YOU DIRTY BOY AND THE MANTLE ORNAMENTS IN THE ATTIC FOR THE PRESENT OR THE BARN CHAMBER WHAT DO YOU SAY

They all followed him as he threw open the door, Nancy well in the front, as I fear was generally the case. There, on the centre of the table stood You Dirty Boy rearing his crested head in triumph, and round him like the gate posts of a mausoleum stood the four black and white marble funeral urns. Perfect and entire, without a flaw, they stood there, confronting Nancy. "It is like them to be the first to greet us!" exclaimed Mrs. Carey, with an attempt at a smile, but there was not a sound from Kathleen or Nancy. They stood rooted to the floor, gazing at the Curse of the House of Carey as if their eyes must deceive them. "You look as though you didn't expect to see them, girls!" said their mother, "but when did they ever fail us?--Do you know, I have a courage at this moment that I never felt before?--  MAKE OUT UP TO THE TIME YOU GOT HERE MEBBE YOU MARKED EM SOMEWAY SO'T YOU KNOW WHICH TO UNPACK FIRST I WAS ONLY FINDING THINGS THAT WASN'T NO PRESENT USE AS I GUESS YOU'LL SAY WHEN YOU SEE EM ON THE DINING TABLE THEY ALL FOLLOWED HIM AS HE THREW OPEN THE DOOR NANCY WELL IN THE FRONT AS I FEAR WAS GENERALLY THE CASE THERE ON THE CENTRE OF THE TABLE STOOD YOU DIRTY BOY REARING HIS CRESTED HEAD IN TRIUMPH AND ROUND HIM LIKE THE GATE POSTS OF A MAUSOLEUM STOOD THE FOUR BLACK AND WHITE MARBLE FUNERAL URNS PERFECT AND ENTIRE WITHOUT A FLAW THEY STOOD THERE CONFRONTING NANCY IT IS LIKE THEM TO BE THE FIRST TO GREET US EXCLAIMED MISSUS CAREY WITH AN ATTEMPT AT A SMILE BUT THERE WAS NOT A SOUND FROM KATHLEEN OR NANCY THEY STOOD ROOTED TO THE FLOOR GAZING AT THE CURSE OF THE HOUSE OF CAREY AS IF THEIR EYES MUST DECEIVE THEM YOU LOOK AS IF YOU DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE THEM GIRLS SAID THEIR MOTHER BUT WHEN DID THEY EVER FAIL US DO YOU KNOW I HAVE A COURAGE AT THIS MOMENT THAT I HAVE NEVER FELT BEFORE
