At Albany a wealthy and cultured Quaker gentleman had been an attentive and interested listener, and when she took the stage a few days later at Lake George, she found not only that he was to be her fellow-passenger, but that he had a thick plank heated, which he asked permission to place under her feet.

Whenever the stage stopped he had it re-heated, and in many ways added to the comfort of her journey.

At the close of the next meeting to her surprise she found his fine sleigh waiting filled with robes and drawn by two spirited gray horses, and he himself drove her to his own beautiful home presided over by a sister, where she spent Sunday.

In this same luxurious conveyance she was taken to several towns and, during one of these trips, was urged in the most earnest manner to give up the hard life she was leading and accept the ease and protection he could offer.

But her heart made no response to this appeal while it did urge her strongly to continue in her chosen work.
All through the Schroon Lake country the snow was over the fences and the weather bitterly cold.
