Sometimes it was hard for Letitia to realize that she was not another little girl. Letitia's Great-aunt Peggy used to play grace-hoops with her, and dominoes and checkers, and even dolls. The one maid-servant whom Aunt Peggy kept was older than she, and had chronic rheumatism in the right foot and left shoulder-blade, which affected her temper. That was fortunate, because there were no little girls of Letitia's age nearer than a mile. However, she was very active and bright, and good company for Letitia. Her Great-aunt Peggy was her grandfather's sister, and was a very old woman.
Her own parents died when she was very young, and she had come there to live with her Great-aunt Peggy. Letitia lived in the same house where her grandmother and her great-grandmother had lived and died.
