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.
