CHAPTER XVII.
It was in October when Mrs.Montgomery, after a residence of three years in the Allen House, went from among us.

Old "Aunty," and another colored servant who had lived with Mrs.Allen, remained in charge of the mansion.

There was, of course, no removal of furniture, as that belonged to the estate.

Mrs.Montgomery had brought with her three servants from England, a coachman, footman, and maid.

The footman was sent back after he had been a year in the country; but the coachman and maid still lived with her, and accompanied her to Boston.
The large schemes of men ambitious for gain, will not suffer them to linger by the way.
