One evening, being away from any town, he was glad to see a house, a short distance from the road. It was a little farmhouse surrounded with a vineyard and a cornfield. It was about eight in the evening when I got to the house. The family consisted of an old gray-headed man and his wife with five or six sons and sons-in-law, and their several wives, and a group of cheerful children. They were all sitting together to their evening meal. The old man rose up to meet me, and with a respecful cordiality invited me to sit down at the table. So I sat down at once like a son of the family. And to invest myself in the character of a son as quickly as I could, I instantly borrowed the old man’s knife, and, taking a loaf, cut myself a heavy portion. And, as I did so, I saw a testimony in every eye, not only of an honest welcome, but of a welcome mixed with thanks that I had not seemed to doubt it. When supper was over, the old man gave a knock on the table with the handle of his knife, to bid them prepare for the dance. The moment the signal was given, the women and girls ran into a back apartment to tie up their hair; and the young men to the door to wash their faces and change their wooden shoes. And in three minutes every soul was ready upon a little esplanade before the house to begin. The old man told me that all his life long he had made it a rule, after supper was over, to call out his family to dance and rejoice, believing, he said, that a cheerful and contented mind was the best source of thanks to heaven that an illiterate peasant could pay. 16: The family that the writer visited was a(n)……… family.
