"Tuesday, August 2, 1831. When we descended the school house path who was there but Joshua! He'd been sent to salt the calves, then contrived a longer way 'round, that he'd be at the school house at the dismissal bell! He walked with me, Cassie, and Sophy talking idly of this & that, then suggested we turn through the woods, which they wished not to do. Then Josh and I parted from them, tho' not without calling back and forth with small tho' urgent messages about the coming day. Soon we felt the woodsy shadows, whereat we continued more quietly."
