To populate that crystal cabinet.
Within its walls the strangest partners met,
And things turned thoughts did propagate their kind.

A spirit. Fact and you in mutual debt
Built there your little microcosm - which yet
Had hugest tasks to its small self assigned.

This was the man who was Francie's maternal grandfather. She hated him the way his daughters hated him. * — Betty Smith
