...course of his years the Vagabond has watched three cousins and two dear friends move gracefully into the garish light of the Somerset or into the dimmer glow of the Chilton Club. He has helped compose letters to enable girls to enter the Junior League, he has sat through innumerable suppers of scrambled eggs and sausages, he has worn many white ties, and seen countless suns rise slowly out of the district men call Back Bay. He has even, in the rush of his youth sat through one entire Vincent Show--later, in the dignity of his age, he departed...
...memories of the war gradually become dimmer, the people of this country are beginning to realize that the hatreds of war days were unreal, manufactured in the interests of political and economic disputes.

Her children have an even dimmer idea of their mother's real nature. When the family conclave meets to decide her future, she shocks them all by deciding for herself.

...fortune which she made from the sales of hair-straightener to other Negroes, was offered at auction. But in contrast to the eager crowds who scrambled to buy the furnishings last winter (TIME, Dec. 8) only a few desultory bidders appeared at "Villa Lewaro." Their dim enthusiasm became dimmer when the famed $25,000 organ in the house refused to play. The housekeeper who alone knew the secret of its operation was absent.
