We may find out more particulars when Leslie writes again . '' `` Does she say what she is going to do ? When is she coming home ? '' `` She says she will stay with George Moore until he can leave the hospital . She has written to his people in Nova Scotia . It seems that George 's only near relative is a married sister much older than himself . She was living when George sailed on the Four Sisters , but of course we do not know what may have happened since . Did you ever see George Moore , Miss Cornelia ? '' `` I did . It is all coming back to me . He was here visiting his Uncle Abner eighteen years ago , when he and Dick would be about seventeen . They were double cousins , you see . Their fathers were brothers and their mothers were twin sisters , and they did look a terrible lot alike . Of course , '' added Miss Cornelia scornfully , `` it was n't one of those freak resemblances you read of in novels where two people are so much alike that they can fill each other 's places and their nearest and dearest ca n't tell between them . In those days you could tell easy enough which was George and which was Dick , if you saw them together and near at hand . Apart , or some distance away , it was n't so easy . They played lots of tricks on people and thought it great fun , the two scamps . George Moore was a little taller and a good deal fatter than Dick -- though neither of them was what you would call fat -- they were both of the lean kind . Dick had higher color than George , and his hair was a shade lighter . But their features were just alike , and they both had that queer freak of eyes -- one blue and one hazel .
