Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE OLD HOMESTEAD 119 CHAPTER XIII. ONE YEAR LATER. A year had rolled by since Reuben bade farewell to Swanzey, and to the casual observer there has been no change in the place or its people. It would seem almost as if there had been no lapse of time, so nearly do the aspect of the country and the occupation of the people coincide with what they were a year ago. At the Stratton house there are the same signs of busy life that were there a year ago, and nothing out- ward ad...vertises that the roof covers an aching heart. A stranger might look at Ruth and say, as he would have said a year ago, "What a sweet face!" And only the sisters who are hourly with her know the sad- ness that has become a part of her life. At the Eastman house no one could guess that the imperious demeanor of the queenly country girl cov- ered a gnawing, bitter impatience which was but shadowed a year ago; or that the sedate cheerfulness of the stalwart man pitching hay in the field was but a cloak to hide a patient, hopeless longing.
