After the death of her mother, "Marm" Quin, Rachel continued to live in the little weather-worn, clapboarded house for nearly a score of years alone. It was then that she took to snuff and slander.
During the latter part of her life Mrs. Sarah Blinn Hilton4 lived with the lonely old lady and inherited at her death the home of the Quins, which she took down and built in its place a modern house of a type popular at that time, but entirely out of keeping with its surroundings.
Many were the harrowing tales which were told to the young people on winter evenings or on Sunday afternoons in summer, tales made vivid by the old lady's wonderful memory and power of narration, and by Rachel's supplementary remarks, who, having learned them so thoroughly, was as much of an historian as her mother. Stories of Indians, when Garrison Hill was really a garrison where families fled for safety; and the only water supply was under the hill in the garden of the place later owned by William Lowell. Here Indians lurking in the swamps opposite, captured an unfor- tunate mother and child, carrying them to Canada. And there were harrow- ing tales of piracy and shipwreck; of a fair maiden sold for English gold; tales of Wiscasset's glory and her sad decline during the gloomy days of the Embargo, when one ship-owner could sit at his window and see thirty of his own ships rotting at the wharves.
Rachel became a veritable heirloom to the town. Traditions of all kinds, many of them belonging to old England, grew around her and clung to her always. She was born ere the Ides of March, in the first month of the old Roman year; she had second sight, and the gift of prophesying; she had had seven lovers, all first mates; she was descended from Baron Hylton of Crowmartyshire, Scotland, and she always added that "the Baron was a very handsome man." She had had her gait examined by someone skilled in gyromancy, who, when she walked in a circle, told her that her tempera-

ment resembled that of Napoleon I, in that she, too, was nervous, bilious and sanguine; but those who knew her best asserted that she was English to the core. One of her favorite expressions was "Good King George!"
In Washington Hall on the second floor of the old hotel where she went to school, Mr. A. B. Gee taught a dancing school, to which Rachel went, and it was there she learned to "tread a measure," to do the steps of the Barley Break, a popular amusement in the time of King James I. Another of her accomplishments was the pantomime, accompanied by an old English song pertaining to the Duke of Wellington.
Here comes the Duke of Wellington With a Ranzy, Tanzy, Tary, Boy! And a Ranzy, Tanzy, Teehee!
My wish is to marry now, With a Ranzy, Tanzy, etc.
You are all too black and blue, I say, With a Ranzy, Tanzy, etc. Well I think I will take this one here, With a Ranzy, Tanzy, etc.
Here come the Duke and Duchess With a Ranzy, Tanzy, etc.
One man stands alone, representing the Duke, opposite a long line of persons. First the Duke steps forward and bows, and then in a sing-song tone he sings the first refrain. He retreats and then the long line advances and bows singing in a sing-song the answers and retreats. Next the Duke again advances, bows and sings the verse, "I wish to marry, etc." The dance continued until only one person was left. The word "Ranzy" comes from the Swiss word "Ranz" meaning a call by horn to march, or else a call to the sheep. "Teehee" stands for a giggle or a shy laugh.
It is safe to assert that when her death occurred May 5, 1895, at the age of eighty-eight years, no one in Lincoln County was more widely missed than Rachel Quin, who had been so long identified with the life of Wiscasset.
