Excerpt from Our New Crusade: A Temperance Story
I had observed at breakfast that Aunt Lois had looked dull.
Every one else had observed it, though of cou se no one said so. She gave us all our coffee, she pretended to take her own fried potatoes and omelette, but she ate nothing, and she said nothing. Now this is quite unusual with Aunt Lois. Generally, she keeps the children in order, carries on half the talk, sees that no cup is empty, and eats her own breakfast, all at the same time; and this with magnetism that nothing can resist, or, if you please, with life which quickens the whole company.
But this morning there had been no doubt but that Aunt Lois looked dull.
