Mother came home to prepare for the funeral.

When the bonnets, veils, and black gloves came home, Veronica declared she would not go.

As she had been allowed to stay away from Grand'ther Warren living, why should she be forced to go to him when dead?
She was so violent in her opposition that mother ordered Temperance to keep her in her room.
Father tried to persuade her, but she grew white, and trembled so that he told her she should stay at home.

While we were gone she sent her bonnet to the Widow Smith's daughter, who appeared in the Poor Seats wearing it, on the very Sunday after the funeral, when we all went to church in our mourning to make the discovery, which discomposed us exceedingly.
All the church were present at grand'ther's funeral,--obsequies, as Mr.Boold called it, who exalted his character and behavior so greatly in his discourse that his nearest friends would not have recognized him, although everybody knew that he was a good man.

Mr.Boold expatiated on his tenderness and delicate appreciation, and his study of the feelings and wants of others, till he was moved to tears himself by the picture he drew.
