It was "my Fanny" and "my Rachel" in the letters of the young ladies.

Then, my Fanny's husband died in sad out-at-elbowed circumstances, leaving no provision for his widow and her infant; and, in one of his annual voyages, Captain Franks brought over Mrs.Mountain, in the Young Rachel, to Virginia.
There was plenty of room in Castlewood House, and Mrs.Mountain served to enliven the place.

She played cards with the mistress: she had some knowledge of music, and could help the eldest boy in that way: she laughed and was pleased with the guests: she saw to the strangers' chambers, and presided over the presses and the linen.

She was a kind, brisk, jolly-looking widow, and more than one unmarried gentleman of the colony asked her to change her name for his own.

But she chose to keep that of Mountain, though, and perhaps because, it had brought her no good fortune.
