Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prose You Ought to Know
The huge green fragment of ice on which she alighted pitched and creaked as her weight came on it; but she stayed there not a moment. With wild cries and des perate energy she leaped to another and still to another cake stumbling leaping slipping springing up wards again! Her shoes were gone, her stockings cut from her feet, while blood marked every step; but she saw nothing, felt nothing, till dimly, as in a dream, saw the Ohio side, and a man helping her up the bank.
Yer a brave gal, now, whoever ye are! Said the man with an oath.
Eliza recognised the voice and face of a man who owned a farm not far from her old home.
