the third time, for Mr. Fogg had told us we must go immediately with them out to his daughters at Lake View, a mile and a half. His carriage and Mrs. Howe's had been for the last two hours drawing their goods into the country, and Mrs. Fogg and a whole house full the word 'of' is written and then crossed off who had flocked there for protection with us were going to walk that distance (and of course all we had saved would have been left behind). When Mr. H drove up with the coach it was a welcome sight, I assure you. He piled us all in and took us out of danger and then left Frank at one side of the road to carry the ladies to Lake View.

I think we were two hours and a half getting there, the roads were so crowded with flying people. After we arrived we did not dare unpack our goods for fear of the winds changing and the West Side burning up. We were relieved from our anxiety at midnight by a shower of rain, and could sleep then for the first time in more than fifty hours. George Ramsey's house was on fire
