Pina made Jacob inexpressibly happy by accepting the dusky hand and honest heart of that “gorilla.” Her place being made vacant by her marriage was well filled by Meg, now grown to be a pretty civilized-looking young woman, and promoted to be head of the nursery at Crew Wood. When I last heard of these friends of ours, General Lyon was still living, in the enjoyment of a hale and happy age, at Old Lyon Hall, surrounded by Anna and Dick and their children, who made their home with him. And Hammond Hall was kept in good order by a steward and a housekeeper. And in the fishing season, the family, with a party of friends, usually occupy it for a few weeks. And there, as well as at Old Lyon Hall, they are often joined by Alexander and Drusilla. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Lyon live chiefly at Crew Wood, where they spend their days in doing good, and in rearing their beautiful young family. Their other country seat, Cedarwood Cottage, is still in the care of “Mammy” and her “old man.” And every winter Alick and Drusilla, with their children, go there to be near Washington in the season. And Mr. and Mrs. Hammond and General Lyon come to them. The old General never loses his interest in what is going on at the capital.
