I shall now relate the happenings to you, for I done what my conscience told me to do. I jumped out of the Sleigh and told the party to unload at once, that there was ample room for Man and Beast. We had scarce taken the man by storm, replenished his fire and settled ourselves to warm when another load arrived, which had lost their way. These too I invited in. I took complete Possession of the house, ordered our men to take down the beds and make more room on the floor, turn the Cattle out of the straw barn and housed our Steeds therein. We brought in our robes and blankets and made a bed for the Bride and Groom in the shed. I was loath to oversee a man under his own roof but when one so far forgets the rules of Christianity and Hospitality—which be in many ways the same thing—I shall ever deem it my duty to set him straight.
