She fixed me up a big bundle of clothing and gave me a quilt.

I was put to sleep that night on a pallet on the floor in the dining room, using an old quilt as a covering.

The first meeting of the Knox Church Ladies' Aid, after the return of Mrs. Coombe and Jane, was held for the purpose of putting together a quilt, not the old-fashioned kind, of course, but something quite newan autograph quilt, very chaste.

It was of this quiet exit of Esther's that Mary was thinking as she sewed on the autograph quilt.

Mary shrugged her shoulders and frowned over the quilt.

Reckon she's done gone ober to see ole Aun' Patsy, who's gwine to die in two or free days, to take her some red an' yaller pieces for a crazy quilt.

"But if she's about to die, what does she want with a crazy quilt?" "Dat's fur she shroud," said Letty.

She wants to cut a shine 'mong de angels, an' her quilt's most done, jus' one corner ob it lef'.

The next day this quiet gentleman and good walker went to see old Aunt Patsy, who had apparently consented to live a day or two longer; gave her a little money in lieu of pieces for her crazy bed-quilt; and told her he was going away to stay.

In her long, bony fingers, rusty black on the outside, and a very pale tan on the inside, she held a coarse needle and thread and a corner of the quilt.

The old woman stuck her needle into the quilt, and reached out her hand to her visitor, who took it cordially.

"I didn't spec' to be libin' dis week, but I ain't got my quilt done yit, an' I can't go 'mong de angels wrop in a shroud wid one corner off.

" "If you are not going to die till you get your quilt finished, Aunt Patsy," said Mrs Null, "I hope it won't be done for a long time.

" He followed her into the room where a quilt in the making was spread out on the rug.

"I make a different quilt every year for the hospital benefit auction.

Oliver nodded while his eyes lingered on the quilt.

Where did that superb quilt come from?

The quilt stopped him.

"This quilt is special."

She looked at the quilt.

The quilt had shocked him.

I put an end of the quilt over him, and he stopped shivering after a time and went to sleep.
