Synopsis
Excerpt from Romance of the Charter Oak: A Picture of Colonial Times
At the hour when our story opens, the tempest had come to an end. And in the west a strip of blue sky, which was growing every moment larger and larger, showed that the weather would be clear and bitterly cold. The sun was not far from the horizon, and Lydia, seated by one of the windows, was watching a flock of snow-birds hopping about out side, picking up a handful of crumbs she had thrown them. Presently a gust of wind struck the house, making it tremble so, that she half believed it was going to rise and blowr away.
