There is a small courtyard in front, which extends to the stables at the rear. The neat appearance of the chalet and its pleasant location will surely attract the attention of any stranger. On entering the house, everything is so beautifully arranged, so clean and so comfortable that the visitor immediately feels at home, convinced that everything has been taken care of by a frugal housewife.There are four rooms on the first floor, a drawing room with a large bay window, filled with beautiful geraniums of every imaginable color and variety, which is the first room to attract attention; Then the dining room, with its old-fashioned clock, its numerous home-made rugs, its chairs and its huge table, beckons you to dine, especially if it is about noon;There will definitely be a delicious smell coming from the nearby kitchen around this time of the day. The kitchen is exactly as a room should be in a country house, it is not very big and is equipped with a simple wood stove, a large pine table and a small sink, it has a door to the side yard near the stables And it opens. Another in the wash house, besides the one that connects it to the dining room, making three doors in all,And a window. The fourth room is much smaller and serves as a sewing room; It is connected to the dining room and living room and each has a door opening. Apart from the four rooms on the first floor, there is a large pantry, which has a small window at a height of about four feet from the ground, the door of this pantry opens into the dining room. This is the layout of the first floor.Going up a short flight of stairs and turning left you find yourself on the second floor of the cottage, which consists of an entrance hall and four small bedrooms, all opening onto the entrance hall. Each room has one window and one door. Two of these smaller bedrooms face the road and the other two are at the rear of the bungalow. Like the rest of the house, they are distinguished by their neat and cozy appearance, decorated with wallpaper and paintings and furnished with simple country furniture. In fact, everything about the little cabin would impress a casual observer that its inhabitants are happy and apparently at peace with God and man.This simple cottage is the home of shoemaker Daniel Teed. Everyone knows and respects honest, hard-working Dan, who will never owe a dollar if he can help it and will never let his family lack the comfort that Amherst shoes provide . A factory foreman.Dan is survived by his wife Olive, who, as always, is a good person and always works hard. She remains awake from morning till evening. It has always been a subject of gossip among the neighbors and the neighbors have wondered at how young Mrs. Teed was, for she is by no means a large woman, capable of working continuously without tiring and without an hours rest . So after dinner. But she always works, never rests and they always look at her with surprise. Dan and Olive have two young boys. Willie, the eldest, is five years old; He is a strong, healthy-looking boy, with a ruddy complexion, blue eyes and curly brown hair; His main entertainments are throwing stones, chasing chickens and hurting his younger brother. Dans youngest boy, George, is the best boy of his age in the village and is only a little over a year old; His gentle laugh, winning mannerisms and clever attention-grabbing antics have made him a favorite with everyone who comes to the cabin.Besides his wife and two little boys, Dan has under his honest roof his wifes two sisters, Jane and Esther Cox, who live with him. Jane is a distinguished, self-confident young woman, about twenty-two years old and very beautiful; Her hair is very light brown and when she leaves it in a ponytail, it goes down to her waist at other times she wears it in a Greek style.Style; his eyes are brown; Fair complexion and beautiful teeth add to her beauty. In fact, Jane Cox is one of the beauties of the village and has many admirers, and not only from the male category, as she is also popular among women; She is a member and faithful devotee of Pastor Townsends church, under the care of the good priest for about forty-five years. Esther Cox, Dans second sister-in-law, is such a remarkable girl in every respect that I must give as complete a description of her as possible. He was born in Upper Stewiacke, Nova Scotia, on March 28, 1860, and is therefore in his eighteenth year. esther is still oneShe has been a strange girl. She was so small when she was born that her good and kind grandmother,The people who raised her (her mother died when she was three weeks old) had to bathe her and dress her on pillows, and even carry her with them at all times. She was nine months old and weighed only five pounds at that age. When she was a young girl, her father Archibald T. Cox remarried and moved to East Machias, Maine, where he has lived ever since. After taking his second wife to the grave, he married a third with whom he now lives. Because of Esthers early years living with her grandmother, Esther naturally grew up to be serious and old-fashioned, without knowing how or why. Like all little girls, she was remarkably sensitive to environmental influences, and the older womans calm demeanor and actions made a formative impact on Esther that would remain with her throughout her life.In person, Esther is short and obese; Her hair is curly, dark brown, and is now cut short, reaching only to her shoulders; Her eyes are big and brown, blue in color and have a serious expression that says, "Why are you looking at me so much? I cant help it if Im not like the others." Its eyebrows and eyelashes are deep and well defined, that is, the eyelashes are long and the eyebrows are very distinct. His face can be described as round with well-defined features; His teeth are amazingly beautiful and his color is yellow. Her arms and legs are small and shapely, and although she looks fat, she enjoys work and is very helpful to her sister Olive, although sometimes she needs a little persuasion.Although Esther lacks the beauty for which Jane is famous, there is something honest, sincere and charming about this simple-hearted village girl that wins the hearts of many friends of her age; In fact, he is in great demand among the small children of the neighborhood, they are always ready to have fun and play with him. Aster , as they all call it. In fact, many of the villages adult residents also call it Ester , which is a common habit throughout Nova Scotia .Esthers nature is naturally gentle and meek. However, she can be very strong-willed at times and gets what she wants when she sets her mind to it. If she is asked to do something she does not want to do, she becomes very angry and sometimes has to make fun of herself to maintain peace in the family. However, by all meansCome to think of it, shes a good little girl and has always had a good reputation in every sense of the word.There are two other occupants in the small cabin who need to be informed. They are William Cox and John Teed. William is the brother of Olive, Jane and Esther, he is a shoemaker by trade and one of Dans employees at the factory.The second resident, John Teed, is Dans brother. John, like his brother, is an honest, hard-working young man, raised as a farmer, a trade he still pursues when not with Dan in Amherst.As readers may be curious to know what good, honest, hard-working Dan and his thrifty little wife Olive are like, I will give a brief description of each.I will try to give details. So this is it. Dan is about thirty-five years old and stands five foot eight in his socks. He has light brown hair, quite thin on top, a shapely head, blue eyes, well-defined features, a high nose, and a large mustache and bushy mustache; Its color is red; His left leg is slightly paralyzed due to arthritis caused by standing for many years. He does his work, spends his salary as required, and lives a Christian life, having a representative in the Wesleyan church, of which the Rev. R. it. This happens when he dies. Get a good reward in the next world. Olive, as I said before, is not a very tall woman. She is good and honest like her father and goes to church with him like a wife. She has dark brown hair, brown eyes, pale complexion and some freckles. Although she may not be as beautiful as Jane, nor as angry as Esther, she has those maternal qualities of character that cause respect. Being older than her sisters, she looks to them for advice when she feels the need and turns to them for solace when they are sad. Olives wise little head will definitely give the right advice at the right time, and in the bitch family, her word is law. I dont mean that she rules over her husband. No! Dan is far from being a fool, but since two heads are always better than one, Dan often takes his advice and takes advantage of it.Honest Dan Teeds cottage and farm are like this.Today is a cool and pleasant day. Its afternoon, time for dinner at the cabin. To keep George from running out into the hot sun, Esther sits on the living room floor and plays with him. Willie tormented a poor hen in the yard near the stable,To prevent him from sitting in the cow pen, Olive tied a wooden log to one of his legs.given; But Master Willy thinks she was tied up so he can have a good time by whacking her over the head with a small stick, which he does very professionally. Suddenly, his mother comes out of the kitchen, and after covering his ears, sends him into the house to scream, much to the relief of the poor hen, who had just fainted from exhaustion and fear. , but when she realizes that her tormentor has disappeared, she immediately goes back. again. In the present, Olive hears Dan at the door, and comes to the front door to meet him and tell him that dinner is almost ready, and notes that he couldnt guess that she had dinner for dessert. What is. Honest Dan replies that he is hungry and will eat no matter what, because he works hard. So he goes to the kitchen sink to wash his hands and face.Jane comes on the road. Esther, sitting on a chair with George in her lap, looks at her sister through the living room window. Jane has a job with Mr. J. P. Dunlap, and goes to work every day at seven in the morning. As soon as Esther sees Jane, she hugs George and runs to tell Olive that Jane is coming, and suggests that dinner be served immediately. He is hungry. So Olive, with Esthers help, puts dinner on the table, and they all sit down to enjoy the meal, and it turns out to be quite a good meal; Lots of beef steak and onions, lots of hot mashed potatoes, lots of steamed cabbage and lots of homemade bread and fresh butter made from the rich cream of Dans Red Cow. Little George, who is sitting on a high chair to his mothers right, begins to hit the bottom of the table so hard that we cannot hear a word, for he makes a terrible noise, his shoes hitting the young people. The claws were made of copper to avoid premature wear. Olive told Esther to get an old pink scarf and to bind her feet so she wouldnt make such a racket, EstherDoes not move, but gets up reluctantly when asked a second time, walks over to the hat rack in the hallway, takes the scarf and binds the little boys feet as requested. As she sits at the table, we see that she has a sad expression on her face, because she doesnt like to be disturbed during dinner, or even during any meal, for the simple reason that That she is known to have a very strong appetite. , because he especially likes pickles and drinks a cup of vinegar a day.Everyone ate in silence for a few minutes, when Jane asked if the cow had been milked again last night. "Yes," said Dan, and "I wish I could find out whos doing it; it wont do him any good, I can tell you. Its the tenth time hes been milked this fortnight."Food was served. Oh! If that were the case, if I didnt have this hip joint, I would stay up some nights and catch the thief, get him arrested, and,And then, comments Esther, keeping in mind the financial aspect of the milk question, we will have only two liters more to sell every day; This will happen- Let me see how much it will cost."It doesnt matter," says John Teed, "how much it costs, please give me that plate of potatoes. Theyre so well mashed that I have to eat more. I cant stand whole apples in lumps." Wally Earth "Can You, Jane"."No, John, I cant," replied Jane."I cant either," joins William Cox; "If I ever get married, I hope my wife is as good a cook as Olive; if she proves that, I will be satisfied."Give me another piece of meat, you heard, shouted Master Willy.Dan comments, "Ask like a good boy, and you shall receive."The young thug said a second time, even louder than the first time: Give me another piece of meat, listen.A nice sound box over his fathers ear blocks out the unruly boys comments for the rest of the meal. However, after a pause, Dan gives her a piece of beef steak, while his mother says:"I wonder how that boy learns to be so rude.""Well," replied John Teed, "was playing with those bad boys near the car factory. I saw him there about nine oclock this morning, and besides, I can tell you that as long as he Doesnt go away, thats what hell do. Do it." is destroyed.""As soon as he gets a little older, Ill hold him in my hands and mark him," says Dan. Okay, Mudge, Dan almost always calls his wife Mudge, as a pet name give me a cup of tea, madam, and then Ill go back to the factory, that is, as soon as I get my The pipe will come or it will end, but give it."What! Are you leaving without eating some of that bread pudding I took the trouble to make because I thought you might like it?" asks olivier."Oh, you have pudding; well, if its cold Ill eat that too," Dan replies."Oh, yes, its quite cold right now. Come, Esther, help me clean these pots, and you, Jane, please bring the pudding, its by the rain barrel by the door."The dishes were cleared and the pudding brought out, everyone ate their share and after some more discussion about who milked the cow at midnight, Esther remarked that she believed the thieves were among the Mikmaq Indians at the camp. . One. road. Everyone laughs at such a ridiculous idea and everyone leaves the table. After untying Georges legs, Esther lifts him from the chair, then helps Olive carry the dishes to the kitchen, where she washes them, then moves to the living room couch for a nap. Meanwhile, Dan enjoyed his smoke and returned to the factory like William Cox. John Teed went to Main Street to see his sister Maggie and Jane returned to Mr. Dunlap. Willie is on his way again with the bad boys and Olive has started making a new plaid dress for George, who is sleeping in his little crib in the small sewing room.Esther, after sleeping for about an hour, comes into the dining room where Olive is sewing and says: "Olive, Im going out for a walk, and if Bob comes by while Im away, let him know. Dont forget told me that I will be there this evening and wait for him."Okay Esther," said her sister, "but youd better be careful about Bob and how you live with him; you know what we heard about him the day before yesterday."Esther replied, "Oh, I dont believe a word of it." She looked at her sister for a moment, then said in a hurt voice: "I think Im old enough to take care of myself. What! Is it half-past two? I must go;" And she left.After dinner was over, Esther wore her brown dress and went to talk to Dan.She was sitting in her usual place at the front door, while he was smoking his pipe in the evening. Jane is wearing her favorite white dress, trimmed with black velvet, her beautiful hair tied in a real Greek coil and perfectly smooth at the temples, she is tending her favorite plants in the living room. At the moment, her boyfriend has come forwardEvening with him.Then it becomes evening. Olive put little George to bed, carried him to bed and retired. Dan smoked his pipe and retired. Now it was ten oclock. Esther was still sitting on the veranda, looking up at the stars, humming the tune of the famous Wesleyan hymn, for it must be remembered that although she was by no means a saint,However, as a respectable girl, she went to church with Dan and Olive. Since the girl was just entering womanhood and felt she had something to love, it was natural for her to sit there and wait for Bob to appear. At about ten-thirty, Janes boyfriend left, and Jane had nothing else to keep her company, so she decided to retire and advised Esther to follow her example.Esther took one last look out into the street and then reluctantly entered the house. After closing the front door the girls entered the dining room and Jane lit the lamp. As usual, Esther had taken off her shoes and thrown them on the ground, when suddenly she realized that there was buttermilk in the cellar, and at that very moment she decided to buy some. Taking the lamp from Jane, she runs to get up in the cellar, drinks about a pound of buttermilk and runs away again, and tells her sister, who meanwhile was in the dark dining room, that a big rat has come near her. Had passed through. Feet in the basement."Come straight to bed, silly girl," said Jane, "and dont talk about rats at this time of the night." So Jane took the lamp and Esther picked up her shoes, and they went to their room."Esther," Jane said after closing their bedroom door, "youre a fool to think anything about Bob."To be Continued in book.......1230007015250_Kamakhya Tiwarilibro_electonico_1230007015250_1230007015250Kamakhya TiwariInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/750c7531-4db7-4e9b-bc67-e73a3126fdea-epub-748b5d93-43e9-4960-a1bb-7401f2a8fbde.epub2023-10-31T00:00:00+00:00Kamakhya Tiwari
