He married Rose Elliott from over harbor . Rose was reckoned the beauty of Four Winds -- Leslie takes her looks from her mother , but she has ten times the spirit and go that Rose had , and a far better figure . Now you know , Anne , I always take the ground that us women ought to stand by each other . We 've got enough to endure at the hands of the men , the Lord knows , so I hold we had n't ought to clapper-claw one another , and it is n't often you 'll find me running down another woman . But I never had much use for Rose Elliott . She was spoiled to begin with , believe ME , and she was nothing but a lazy , selfish , whining creature . Frank was no hand to work , so they were poor as Job 's turkey . Poor ! They lived on potatoes and point , believe ME . They had two children -- Leslie and Kenneth . Leslie had her mother 's looks and her father 's brains , and something she did n't get from either of them . She took after her Grandmother West -- a splendid old lady . She was the brightest , friendliest , merriest thing when she was a child , Anne . Everybody liked her . She was her father 's favorite and she was awful fond of him . They were ` chums , ' as she used to say . She could n't see any of his faults -- and he WAS a taking sort of man in some ways . `` Well , when Leslie was twelve years old , the first dreadful thing happened . She worshipped little Kenneth -- he was four years younger than her , and he WAS a dear little chap . And he was killed one day -- fell off a big load of hay just as it was going into the barn , and the wheel went right over his little body and crushed the life out of it .
And mind you , XXXXX , Leslie saw it .
