"I've got a lot o' skillets," said the strange teamster, with marked condescension, "and she can have one. They're all that's left outer a heap o' trader's stuff captured by Injuns t'other side of Laramie. We had a big fight to get 'em back.
The water that he raised in his hands and rinsed over his face and neck made a pleasant, clean sound, that her ear noted with the other sounds.

Indian corn and barley furnished a new foundation for many "a savory dish" prepared by the housewives in the mortar and pestles, kettles and skillets which they had brought from Holland. Nuts were used for food, giving piquant flavor both to "cakes" baked in the fire and to the stuffing of wild turkeys.
Kitchen utensils: "1 Iron Pot. 1 Great Copper Kettle. 1 Small Kettle. 1 Lesser Kettle. 1 Large Frying pan. 1 Brass Mortar. 1 Spit. 1 Gridiron. 2 Skillets. Platters, dishes, and spoons of wood. A pair of Bellows. A Skoope, etc." Francis Eaton, the carpenter, seems to have had a very respectable "kit," and Fletcher, the smith, was evidently fairly "outfitted."

In the center was the family dining-table, and set out in order on one side a number of bark-seated hickory chairs made by the forest carpenters.
