Cecily 's letter is from Em Frewen . She always puts ` In Haste ' on her letters , no matter what is in them . '' When we reached home , Aunt Janet opened and read her Montreal letter . Then she laid it down and looked about her in astonishment . `` Well , did ever any mortal ! '' she said . `` What in the world is the matter ? '' said Uncle Alec . `` This letter is from James Ward 's wife in Montreal , '' said Aunt Janet solemnly . `` Rachel Ward is dead . And she told James ' wife to write to me and tell me to open the old blue chest . '' `` Hurrah ! '' shouted Dan . `` Donald King , '' said his mother severely , `` Rachel Ward was your relation and she is dead . What do you mean by such behaviour ? '' `` I never was acquainted with her , '' said Dan sulkily . `` And I was n't hurrahing because she is dead .
