Excerpt: "Only the good little snakes were permitted to enter the "Eden" that belonged to Aunt Jerry and Uncle Cornie Darby. "Eden," it should be explained, was the country estate of Mrs. Jerusha Darby—a wealthy Philadelphian—and her husband, Cornelius Darby, a relative by marriage, so to speak, whose sole business on earth was to guard his wife's wealth for six hours of the day in the city, and to practice discus-throwing out at "Eden" for two hours every evening. Of course, these two were never familiarly "Aunt" and "Uncle" to this country neighborhood, nor to any other community."
