"John Rivers has followed Widow Hesketh's advice and gone with Tobias and Jonah to examine the goods brought from England. Anything spoilt on the voyage must be replaced, and anything that we may have forgotten, any extra supplies, must be purchased before we leave the town and go into the wilderness."

There were packmen and peddlers about." pg.102 "The ornamentation is is subtle, carefully judged to fall short of disapproval." pg.107 "He is going to the meeting house this evening to talk with the elders." ||  || "The wagons halt, and Tobias and some of the other men go forward, shouldering axes, ready to cut our way."

pg. 139 (under 40 to middle of 1st paragraph under it) I was brought up deep in the woods and I do not fear the forest as others do. Grandmother may have been speaking in jest and teasing when she named the Erl King as my father, but as a child, I believed her. He is the lord of the Greenwood, and I grew up fearing nothing in his domain. Neither do I feel any terror here even though these woods are mightier by far than any we have at home and as mighty Johah says, as any he has seen on many long journeys in Russia and Bohemia. The forest holds no terror for him either. He finds it interesting. -conformity
