morning, noon
Dear Grandmother Lyman ! Known and loved by everybody in Peltonville , she was peacemaker , adviser , and , in fact , condensed sunshine in John 's household from January to December . She was a _ Christian _ , too ; and John was glad of that , for he believed that she and the Bible were good in case of sickness or death ; and , to tell the truth , he had a vague idea that she would see that he had a place in heaven sometime , after he had grown old and tired of this world . But Grandmother Lyman knew better than this ; and morning , noon , and night , her prayers ascended for him , her only remaining child , and his family . One would suppose that such a mother would have every want supplied , even by a _ penurious _ son . But Oh ! the love of gain had so eaten into John 's best affections that it sometimes seemed as if he had forgotten all claims upon him !
