Vans for sale Falling into a troubled reverie, he beheld the well-known houses, and the great trees under whose shadow he had grown from youth to manhood, flit by him like
phantoms in a dream. But suddenly one house and one place drew his attention with a force that startled him again into an erect attitude, and seizing with
one hand the arm of the driver, he pointed with the other at the door of the cottage they were passing, saying in choked tones:
“See! see! Something dreadful has happened since we passed by here this morning. That is crape, Samuel, crape, hanging from the doorpost yonder!”
“Yes, it is crape,” answered the driver, jumping out and running up the path to look. “Philemon must be dead; the good Philemon.”
Here was a fresh blow. Mr. Sutherland bowed before it for a moment, then he rose hurriedly and stepped down into the road beside the driver.
“Get in again,” said he, “and drive on. Ride a half-mile, then come back for me. I must see the widow Jones.”
The driver, awed both by the occasion and the feeling it had called up in Mr. Sutherland, did as he was bid and drove away. Mr. Sutherland, with a glance
back at the road he had just traversed, walked painfully up the path to Mrs. Jones’s door.
Michael kors A moment’s conversation with the woman who answered his summons proved the driver’s supposition to be correct. Philemon had passed away. He had
never rallied from the shock he had received. He had joined his beloved Agatha on the day of her burial, and the long tragedy of their mutual life was over.
“It is a mercy that no inheritor of their misfortune remains,” quoth the good woman, as she saw the affliction her tidings caused in this much-
revered friend.
