Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Colorado Colonel, and Other Sketches Something unusual was evidently taking place on those early - summer days when the soft winds swept like a caress over the prairies and in at the open windows of the Har grave cottage. An old green trunk had been brought from its hiding-place in the attic, and ransacked, repaired, and many times packed and repacked in order that it might go again into the busy world to which it had for many years now been a stranger, a trunk in whose tray was a bundle of letters and dim daguerreotypes daintily tied with a bit of blue ribbon on which were faded spots, tear-stains or time-stains, who knows? - things that were yet very precious to their owner, Rebecca Norwood, (aunt Be becca, she was generally called, ) the maiden aunt of Agnes Hargrave. They were about to go away for the summer, were Agnes and her aunt, and when two women, one of whom is an invalid of uncertain years, make ready for such a journey there is, as Col. Ferguson once said of a fright ful railroad wreck from which he barely escaped with his life, more or less mixed confusion.
