Apart from that she said little and during the first part of the meal we sat in embarrassed silence . Towards the last , however , our tongues were loosened , and the Story Girl told us a tragic tale of old Charlottetown and a governor 's wife who had died of a broken heart in the early days of the colony . `` They say that story is n't true , '' said Felicity . `` They say what she really died of was indigestion . The Governor 's wife who lives there now is a relation of our own . She is a second cousin of father 's but we 've never seen her . Her name was Agnes Clark . And mind you , when father was a young man he was dead in love with her and so was she with him . '' `` Who ever told you that ? '' exclaimed Dan . `` Aunt Olivia . And I 've heard ma teasing father about it , too . Of course , it was before father got acquainted with mother . '' `` Why did n't your father marry her ? '' I asked . `` Well , she just simply would n't marry him in the end . She got over being in love with him . I guess she was pretty fickle . Aunt Olivia said father felt awful about it for awhile , but he got over it when he met ma . Ma was twice as good-looking as Agnes Clark .
Agnes was a sight for freckles , so Aunt XXXXX says .
