Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roughing It in the Bush, Vol. 2: Or, Life in Canada It was not without regret that I left Melsetter, for so my husband had called the place, after his father's estate in Ork ney. It was a beautiful, picturesque spot; and, in spite of the evil neighbourhood, I had learned to love it; indeed, it was much against my wish that it was sold. I had a great dislike to removing, which involves a necessary loss, and is apt to give to the emigrant roving and unsettled habits. But all regrets were now useless; and happily unconscious of the life of toil and anxiety that awaited us in those dreadful woods, I tried my best to be cheerful, and to regard the future with a hopeful eye. Our driver was a shrewd, clever man, for his opportunities. He took charge of the living cargo, which consisted of my hus band, our maid-servant, the two little children, and myself besides a large hamper, full of poultry - a dog, and a cat. The Iordly sultan of the imprisoned seraglio thought fit to conduct himself in a very eccentric manner, for at every barn yard we happened to pass, he clapped his wings, and crowed so long and loud that it afforded great amusement to the whole party, and doubtless was very edifying to the poor hens, who lay huddled together as mute as mice.
