The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”

Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
