Excerpt: ... Like strips of the sky fallen through me on high, Are each paved with the moon and these. EARLY DAYS IN NEW ENGLAND LUCY LARCOM Primitive ways of doing things had not wholly ceased during my childhood; they were kept up in these old towns longer than elsewhere. We used tallow candles and oil lamps, and sat by open fireplaces. There was always a tinder box in some safe corner or other, and fire was kindled by striking flint and steel upon the tinder. What magic it seemed to me, when I was first allowed to strike that wonderful spark, and light the kitchen fire! The fireplace was deep, and there was a settle in the chimney corner, where three of us youngest girls could sit together and toast our toes on the andirons (two Continental soldiers in full uniform, marching one after the other). We looked up the chimney into a square of blue sky, and sometimes caught a snow-flake on our foreheads; or sometimes smirched our clean aprons (high-necked and long-sleeved ones, known as tiers) against the swinging crane with its sooty pot-hooks and trammels. The coffee-pot was set for breakfast over hot coals, on a three-legged bit of iron called a trivet. Potatoes were roasted in the ashes, and the Thanksgiving turkey in a tin-kitchen, the business of turning the spit being usually delegated to some of us small folk, who were only too willing to burn our faces in honor of the annual festival. There were brick ovens in the chimney corner, where the great bakings were done; but there was also an iron article called a Dutch oven, in which delicious bread could be baked over the coals at short notice. And there never was anything that tasted better than my mother''s fire-cake -- a short-cake spread on a smooth piece of board, and set up with a flat-iron before the blaze... Emma K.
