JERRY.

I am confused

By what you say. But is your mother's name

Grace? How! Grace, too?

A strange uneasiness

In Jerry's breast had waked. They walked awhile

In silence. This he could not well believe,

That Grace and Reuben unhappy were, nor that

One son alone was theirs. Therefore aside

He thrust that hidden, sharp foreboding: still

He trusted, still sustained a calm suspense,

And ranged among his memories. "Tell me, son,"

He said, "about this Deacon Snow--Rob Snow

It must be, I suppose."
