Excerpt from An Edelweiss of the Sierras, Golden-Rod and Other Tales Lucy Boynton lived a solitary life in a gray old minster town in England. She was an orphan, in charge of a venerable maiden aunt who, like the celebrated "Mrs. F." of Hood's ballad, was "so very deaf She might have worn a percussion-cap, And be hit on the head without hearing it snap." From spring to autumn, from autumn to spring, Lucy sat and sewed, dusted the tea-cups on the mantel-shelf, read a few dull books, and accompanied her aunt to service whence the morning and evening chants floated in at the window of their sitting-room close to the cathedral walls.
