In Nauvoo
THE long drought ended with a cloud-burst in the western mountains, which tore a new slide down the flank of Lynx Peak and scarred the Gilded Dome from summit to base. Then storm followed storm, bursting through the mountain-notch and sweeping the river into the meadows, where the haycocks were already afloat, and the gaunt mountain cattle floundered bellowing.
The stage from White Lake arrived at noon with the mail, and the driver walked into the post-office and slammed the soaking mail-sack on the floor.
�Gracious!� said the little postmistress.
�Yes�m,� said the stage-driver, irrelevantly; �them letters is wetter an� I�m madder �n a swimmin� shanghai! Upsot? Yes�m�in Snow Brook. Road�s awash, meadders is flooded, an� the water�s a-swashin� an� a-sloshin� in them there galoshes.� He waved one foot about carelessly, scattering muddy spray, then balanced himself alternately on heels and toes to hear the water wheeze in his drenched boots.
