Then snow lay on the ground, and there was a most "blinding heavy fall" all day. The Swamp, as you remember, was frozen hard enough to bear. To-day Polly and Roy and I walked into the woods and swamps on Broad Rock. While there was ice enough to almost bear us, it was no such frost as our fighting ancestors had, and the superb day had not a sign of snow in the air, except that slight refraction from the sprinkling of snow which fell a few days ago.

We shall have enough to decorate our tables, and then the silver pieces will be shown as a loan collection at Tilden-Thurbers' for a few days later.
