Millie laughed indulgently. "I'll get along and see. You see, Miss Prue's a good and God-fearing squaw, when she isn't smoking her pipe or sitting asleep over the cook-stove. Anyway, I'll chase her up," and she bustled off in the direction of the kitchen. Left to himself Ian Ross forgot entirely that he was awaiting his dinner.

Its positive pleasures were few and primitive. Husking-bees, quiltings, a rare dance, filled up the measure of its diversions.

The sermons were frequently either scholastic arguments or popular, often comic tirades against current immorality; the materials were taken from the stories of the saints as much as from the Bible.
