#AR 13 Nor did any seek to profit from the misfortune of the farmers of Sharpsburg, though many had been brought low; but each did labor in his own way. And Ariel did give herself chiefly unto the tending of her horses, not from necessity, but from delight; for she seemed to take joy in the creatures themselves, and not in the service which they might render. 14 And the House of Haivri did lend unto me a small cottage, set apart from the dwelling of Ariel; and like provision was made by her kindred and acquaintance for each of the families and couples from Sharpsburg who had come to join me in the pilgrimage. And daily were they supplied with food in great abundance, and without price; yet this did sit uneasily with them, being contrary to the custom of rural Americans, who are not wont to receive freely without labor. 15 And more than once there arose in my mind the thought that my little flock, being uprooted, had become as a diversion unto Ariel’s father, even as the horses were unto Ariel herself.
