I go over to see Aunt Sally as often as I can and take her some little thing , but I dunno 's she would n't rather not see anybody than see them in the poorhouse . '' Lovell weighed his hat in his hands and frowned over it reflectively . `` Who owns the house now ? '' `` Peter Townley . He held the mortgage . And all the old furniture was sold too , and that most killed Aunt Sally . But do you know what she 's fretting over most of all ? She and Uncle Tom will have been married fifty years in a fortnight 's time and Aunt Sally thinks it 's awful to have to spend their golden wedding anniversary in the poorhouse . She talks about it all the time . You 're not going , Lovell '' -- for Lovell had risen -- `` you must stop with us , since your old home is closed up . We 'll scare you up a shakedown to sleep on and you 're welcome as welcome . I have n't forgot the time you caught Mary Ellen just as she was tumbling into the well . '' `` Thank you , I 'll stay to tea , '' said Lovell , sitting down again , `` but I guess I 'll make my headquarters up at the station hotel as long as I stay round here . It 's kind of more central . '' `` Got on pretty well out west , hey ? '' queried Jonah . `` Pretty well for a fellow who had nothing but his two hands to depend on when he went out , '' said Lovell cautiously . `` I 've only been a labouring man , of course , but I 've saved up enough to start a little store when I go back . That 's why I came east for a trip now -- before I 'd be tied down to business . I was hankering to see Aunt Sally and Uncle Tom once more .
I 'll never forget how XXXXX and good they was to me .
Pretty course fellow house kind nothing tea thing time trip
