That place belonged to our leadin' summer resident, Mr.Hamilton Colfax, of New York.

There's a good view from there, too, but not as fine as this one of yours, Mrs.Barnes.When your uncle, Cap'n Abner, bought this old house it used to set over on a part of that land there.

The cap'n didn't like the outlook so well as the one from here, so he bought this strip and moved the house down.

Quite a job movin' a house as old as this one.
"Mr.Colfax died last October," he added, "and the place is for sale.
Good deal of a shock, his death was, to East Wellmouth.

Kind of like takin' away the doughnut and leavin' nothin' but the hole.
