“The breakfast was set forth from the caterer’s container by Aunt Patty herself, on the old leaf-table that used to belong to Evan’s own mother. Aunt Patty had drawn it into the front window, where the spring sunshine brightened the room, and spread it with linen from the chest that Evan had kept in his bedroom since he came away from the old homestead and all the familiar surroundings that he had held dear from childhood.
There were daffodils in a blue bowl in the center of the table, also in h...onor of Aunt Patty, and Evan neglected his morning paper to watch his white-haired aunt with her springy steps and her gentle ways move about his rooms and seem to give grace to what had before been a dreary and desolate apartment.
