Averil and her sisters, in the English boots scorned at New York, had their share in the laugh, while picking their way from log to log, hand in hand, and exciting Philetus's further disdain by their rapture with the glorious flowers of the bog. But where was Massissauga?
It was what Averil had been hearing morning, noon, and night, so no wonder she believed it, and was ashamed of a futile girlish fear. And was Henry sure it was a healthy place? Had she not heard of feverish swamps in Indiana? Oh yes, in new unsettled places; but there had hardly been an ailment in the Muller family since they had settled at Massissauga.
His drive, through the white cathedral-like arcades of forest, hung with transparent icicles, and with the deep blue sky above, becoming orange towards the west, was enjoyable; and even Massissauga itself, when its skeleton trees were like their neighbours, embellished by the pure snowy covering, looked less forlorn than when their death contrasted with the exuberant life around.
'I send you the objects I promised for your microscope; I could not get any before because we were in the city; but if you like these I can get plenty more at Massissauga, where we are now.

Muller came up together, and, sitting down on either side of her, began to talk of the rising city of Massissauga admirably situated excellent water privilege, communicating with Lake Michigan glorious primeval forest healthy situation fertile land where a colossal fortune might be realized in maize, eighties, sections, speculations.
The energetic young colonist turned his horse's head up a slight rising ground, where something rather more like habitation appeared; a great brick-built hotel, and some log houses, with windows displaying the wares needed for daily consumption, and a few farm buildings. It was backed by corn-fields; and this was the great Maclellan Street, the chief ornament of Massissauga.
