THE day before Thanksgiving saw the Ware family fully settled in their / new home. The trunks had been unpacked and their contents disposed of to / make the little cottage look as homelike as possible. Even the / preparations for their Thanksgiving dinner were all made. They had been / simplified by Mrs. Barnaby's gift of a jar of mince-meat, and the plump / hen, which was to take the place of a turkey, had been bought already / dressed.
Now at only nine o'clock the morning work was all done, and Mrs. Ware / sat sewing on the south gallery where Jack had wheeled himself into the / sunshine. Mary came and stood in the doorway.
