"Tell our folks that we are well and having a grand time," said Snap, and Sanborn promised to do so. After a hearty dinner, at which the old hunter ate his fill of the things cooked by Giant, the boys and the old hunter separated, and Shep and his chums struck out for the camp. It was still warm, so the doctor's son did not mind the loss of his shirt.
Bert and Harry raced away, to see who would first get to a certain point, while Freddie stayed with his little chums. Pretty soon, however, Freddie felt cold. "I'm going in my father's office to get warm," he said to Johnnie Wilson who was with him. "Come on." The two little chaps were soon in the warm office of the lumber yard.
Therefore, the young thing, through all one long, tedious winter, tore herself from her warm bed, and was to be seen no, not seen, but heard entering Mr Oriel's church at six o'clock. With indefatigable assiduity the responses were made, uttered from under a close bonnet, and out of a dark corner, in an enthusiastically feminine voice, through the whole winter.

Sometimes it would be too cold for the children to go to school, and they would have to play in the kitchen, where Jurgis was, because it was the only room that was half warm.
What the letter contained and its effects upon the different members of her family will follow in another chapter. It is indeed, a warm July day a fine hay day and the people of Mill Crossing are taking advantage of the occasion. They are turned out en masse. Mowing machines are called into active service, and the new inventions reapers, binders, etc. are also at hand.
