Uncle Jesse! The name calls up the vision of him as I saw him so often in those two enchanted1 summers at Golden Gate; as I saw him the first time, when he stood in the open doorway2 of the little low-eaved cottage on the harbour shore, welcoming us to our new domicile with the gentle, unconscious courtesy that became him so well. A tall, ungainly figure, somewhat stooped, yet suggestive of great strength and endurance; a clean-shaven old face deeply lined and bronzed; a thick mane of iron-grey hair falling quite to his shoulders; and a pair of remarkably4 blue, deep-set eyes, which sometimes twinkled and sometimes dreamed, but oftener looked out seaward with a wistful question in them, as of one seeking something precious and lost. I was to learn one day what it was for which Uncle Jesse looked.
 
It cannot be denied that Uncle Jesse was a homely5 man. His spare jaws6, rugged7 mouth, and square brow were not fashioned on the lines of beauty, but though at first sight you thought him plain you never thought anything more about it—the spirit shining through that rugged tenement8 beautified it so wholly.
 
Uncle Jesse was quite keenly aware of his lack of outward comeliness9 and lamented10 it, for he was a passionate11 worshipper of beauty in everything. He told Mother once that he'd rather like to be made over again and made handsome.
 
"Folks say I'm good," he remarked whimsically, "but I sometimes wish the Lord had made me only half as good and put the rest of it into looks. But I reckon He knew what He was about, as a good Captain should. Some of us have to be homely or the purty ones—like Miss Mary there—wouldn't show up so well."
