Chapter VI
OUT INTO THE WORLD. Monday morning came, bright and sunshiny; and it hardly reached Crofield before the people began to get up and look about them. Jack went down to the river and did not get back very soon. His mind was full of something besides the flood, and he did not linger long at the mill. But he looked long and hard at all the pieces of land below the mill, down to Deacon Hawkins's line.
