Father Winter
Mrs. Winter's narrative does not inform where they left the lake for a more direct course to Mr. Thayer's; probably not till the third day. The second day was very rainy, almost cold enough to snow, yet she says they traveled thirty miles " through the most terrible, dark, muddy roads you ever saw. " Twice the horse of ill-luck fell with Elly and Eunice, but the children escaped injury, except from mud and water. Azubah became so tired, —she was really sick, —that Mrs. Winter feared she would fall from the horse, and she took her in her lap. At length they came to a house, and Mrs. Winter was so fatigued that she came near fainting on dismounting.
