Excerpt from The Story of Muff: A Contribution to the Fair of the Second Parish, for the Payson Memorial Church
Mother's room - the sunniest of all, bright with its gay chintz, and its Open fire on chill evenings, had been, to many sons and daughters, a refuge and a de light. Beyond, was the nursery. The well-worn carpet showed the tread of little feet, and the tall fender still barred the grate. The old clock on the stairs ticked nigh upon its hundredth year, and children's children pattered up and down. Hither, the Captain had brought his bride, half a century ago, and thence, his children had gone out, one after another, to new homes, and thence, latest of all, the old Captain himself, full of years and honors, was carried to his long home. Only Grandmamma Vaughan was left now, with Mary the youngest of the flock, to wait year after year, as the. Absent ones came back for the beauty and freshness of the summers in the dear old town. This year, the old house renewed its youth, for Rob and Alice, aged seven and five, children of a son who, like his father, followed the sea, were left in aunt Mary's charge, while their mother accompanied her husband.
