A pile of wooden sap-troughs stood just outside the shanty door. Scroggie nodded. "Drowned through an air-hole in the lake. Say, Billy, do you skate?" She was twenty-three years of age, and it will be readily supposed had been sought in marriage by more than one ardent swain. But she had kept her heart whole: nothing in breeches and stockings and long cut-away coat and salutations adopted from the most approved Parisian styles had touched the passions of Lucy Acton.
