Father and Mother Brown lived in a little three or four-room hut off the “big” road, as they called it, and about 45 miles from the county seat, which was the nearest town. On the morning of our story Mr. Crown had started on his annual trip to Bentonville. It was a long, slow drive for the old man in the delapidated family carriage and one that probably would require three days, because the morning before the snow had begun to fall thick and fast.
