HISTORIC NANTUCKET "But there was not the least of my story to come. It was late afternoon when the steamer docked. Mr. Coffin was not expecting me and did not come into town that day, but I was anxious to get to 'Sconset and home. After having supper with Frank at his home, I started out. It grew dark quickly, and to make the journey more difficult it had snowed the day before and the road was then quite winding (being Old South Road), and when I arrived at 'Sconset it was after ten o'clock. But I was happy to be home again."

The old gentleman sat back in his chair for a moment, looking at me quizzically. "Aren't you going to ask me how much we received?" His smile again predominated. "I can remember the exact sum — one hundred and twelve dollars and seventy-five cents!"
