I hurrahed because that blue chest is to be opened at last . '' `` So poor Rachel is gone , '' said Uncle Alec . `` She must have been an old woman -- seventy-five I suppose . I remember her as a fine , blooming young woman . Well , well , and so the old chest is to be opened at last . What is to be done with its contents ? '' `` Rachel left instructions about them , '' answered Aunt Janet , referring to the letter . `` The wedding dress and veil and letters are to be burned . There are two jugs in it which are to be sent to James ' wife . The rest of the things are to be given around among the connection . Each members is to have one , ` to remember her by . ' '' `` Oh , ca n't we open it right away this very night ? '' said Felicity eagerly . `` No , indeed ! '' Aunt Janet folded up the letter decidedly . `` That chest has been locked up for fifty years , and it 'll stand being locked up one more night . You children would n't sleep a wink to-night if we opened it now .
You 'd go wild XXXXX excitement . ''
