In a reddened April, the Follett household welcomes Aunt Penniman a childless widow, imagining aid and amusement. Jeanne schemes to host her, promising board for twelve dollars weekly, while the family contends with money, propriety, and lingering doubts about Aunt Penniman’s fortune. A stormy visit by Tom Penniman reveals no property and hides debts, reshaping hopes for a simple setup into a fragile, affectionate arrangement.
