seem tired The driver the box is well muffied up,
but shivers he braces himself against the icy cold
breeze, which whistles across the drear hat snow
covered landscape Under the hood of the carriage is
seen the traveller an army officer. The equipage is
coming toward us, and on the crest of
rise in the road is walking in an opposite
direction old crutches
panied by little girl. The weary action Of the
well ndividualzed horses they rudge through the
mud is excellently given; the drivers appearance
verges slightly the grotesque and the reflection of
the already lit side lights of the carriage in the little
pools on the road are made good use of.
