CHAPTER X
ROGER WILLIAMS
It was snowing hard outside and the wind howled around the little cottage.
Joe and Lucy had been taking supper with Uncle Sam. Lucy had made a big pile of buttered toast and her mother had sent over a plum cake. They were all eaten.
"You must go home pretty soon, children. The snow is drifting a good deal and it will be hard walking. It is well that you both wore rubber boots."
Uncle Sam got up and went to the window.
"It was in just such weather that Roger Williams made his way through the wilderness," he said as he looked out over the fields.
"I never heard of him before," said Joe.
