Aunt Sally gave a cry as she entered it . All her old household goods were back in their places . There were some new ones too , for Lovell had supplied all that was lacking . The house was full of their old friends and neighbours . Mrs. Stetson welcomed them home again . `` Oh , Tom , '' whispered Aunt Sally , tears of happiness streaming down her old face , `` oh , Tom , is n't God good ? '' They had a right royal celebration , and a supper such as the Blair housewives could produce . There were speeches and songs and tales . Lovell kept himself in the background and helped Mrs. Stetson cut cake in the pantry all the evening . But when the guests had gone , he went to Aunt Sally and Uncle Tom , who were sitting by the fire . `` Here 's a little golden wedding present for you , '' he said awkwardly , putting a purse into Aunt Sally 's hand . `` I reckon there 's enough there to keep you from ever having to go to the poorhouse again and if not , there 'll be more where that comes from when it 's done . '' There were twenty-five bright twenty-dollar gold pieces in the purse . `` We ca n't take it , Lovell , '' protested Aunt Sally . `` You ca n't afford it . '' `` Do n't you worry about that , '' laughed Lovell . `` Out west men do n't think much of a little wad like that . I owe you far more than can be paid in cash , Aunt Sally . You must take it -- I want to know there 's a little home here for me and two kind hearts in it , no matter where I roam . '' `` God bless you , Lovell , '' said Uncle Tom huskily .
`` You do n't know what you 've done XXXXX Sally and me . ''
