TO say that the Miss Robertsons were much respected in Kaims was to / give a poor notion of the truth. The last survivors of a family which / had lived -- and, for the most part, died -- in the house they still / occupied, they had spent the whole of their existence in the town.
It was nearly a hundred years since a cousin of the Speid family, / eldest and plainest of half a dozen sisters, had, on finding herself / the sole unmarried member of the band, accepted the addresses and / fortune of a wealthy East India merchant whose aspiring eye was turned / in her direction.
