Excerpt from The Two Sisters
When James Marvin"s wife died she bequeathed the little money she could call her own to her two daughters, Julia and Caryl. It was only four hundred dollars, yet her husband was conscious of a slight resentment that in disposing of what was left of the sum she had when she married him she should have thought of her daughters rather than of him.
The fact that he had had the use of several thousands which had come to her from her father"s estate, and that she had never asked him to account to her for a cent of it, did not prevent his feeling that his wife had dealt rather unfairly with him when planning for the disposition of her small funds.
Still, he had set these thoughts aside, and before filling the blank left in the home by his wife"s death he counseled his two girls to put away in the savings bank their four hundred dollars.
