Marco Paul’s Voyages and Travels; Vermont

CHAPTER XI
7/38

Just beyond it the main road turns to the right, and there is a narrower road leading off to the left through a gate.

You must go through that gate and then follow the path into the woods." "We can find it, I think," said Forester.
"Yes," said Marco, "I know the place very well." Forester said he thought that they should find the way without any difficulty, and so bidding his uncle and aunt good-bye, he and Marco set out.
They went through the garden, and from the garden they passed out through a small gate into the orchard.

Marco wished to go this way in order to get some apples.

He chose two from off his favorite tree and put them into the knapsack, and took another in his hand to eat by the way.

Forester did the same, only he put the two that he carried with him, into his pockets.
From the orchard the travelers walked across a field and down into the glen, and after crossing a brook upon some stepping-stones, they ascended upon the other side, and presently climbing over a fence, they came out into what James had called the back road.
