Excerpt from The Tragedy of a Widow's Third
And Rebecca never forgot the day when she saw a carriage passing by their gate, in which sat an old lady, poorly dressed, but with a refined face, weeping bitterly. She ran to her mother to come and see what the trouble was. Her mother reached the door just as the carriage was dis appearing over the hill, and told her little girl that the lady was poor old Mrs. Benson, who was being carried to the poorhouse. She had not a relative in the world to take care of her. She had no money, and was too old and feeble to work.
