CONSTERNATION1 reigned2 at New Moon. Everybody was desperately3 unhappy. Aunt Laura cried. Aunt Elizabeth was so cantankerous4 that there was no living with her. Cousin Jimmy went about as one distracted and Emily gave up worrying about Ilse’s mother and Silas Lee’s remorseful5 ghost after she went to bed, and worried over this new trouble.
