So Josey crept down into the bottom of the sleigh, and Jonas covered him up; and he found his place very warm and comfortable.
"How do you like your place?" said Jonas.
"Very well," said Josey, "only I can't see where we are going."
"Trust yourself to me," said Jonas. "I'll drive you safely."
"I know it," said Josey, "and I wish you'd tell me, now and then, what you see."
"Well," replied Jonas, "I see a load of hay coming along on the pond before us."
"A large load?" said Josey.
"Yes," replied Jonas; "and now we're going pretty near the round island. There, the load of hay is turning off by another road. O, there is a sleigh behind it; it was hid before. The sleigh is coming this way."
"I don't hear any bells," said Josey.
"We are too far off yet; you'll hear them presently."
