So she worked hard all night , and her candle lit up first one window , then another , moving all over the house like a will-o ' - the-wisp . The man who had charge of the poor-house came for her the next morning at ten o'clock . Sylvia was all ready . At quarter past ten he drove out of the old road where the Crane house stood and down the village street . The man 's name was Jonathan Leavitt . He was quite old but hearty , with a stubbly fringe of white beard around a ruddy face . He had come on a wood-sled for the greater convenience of bringing Sylvia 's goods .
