It is one hundred and fifty years old and belonged to my folks, and, although old-fashioned, is highly valued by me." "Of course," said Mary, "we'll certainly leave that in the room." "Also," said Aunt Sarah, "allow the old cottage organ and large, old-fashioned bookcase belonging to your Uncle to remain.

He has frequently spoken of moving his bookcase into the next room, when he was obliged to come in here for books, of which he has quite a valuable collection."

Aunt Sarah, we will leave that old-fashioned table, also, with one leaf up against the wall, and this quaint, little, rush-bottomed rocker, which I just dote on."
