"Not in extreme cases; though I think there is but a short season whenthis is necessary; yet the habit of shutting up lasts the year round, and gives to New-England villages that dead, silent, cold, uninhabitedlook which is so peculiar. " "The one fact that a traveller would gather in passing through ourvillages would be this, " said I, "that the people live in their housesand in the dark. ...Rarely do you see doors and windows open, peoplesitting at them, chairs in the yard, and signs that the inhabitants areliving out-of-doors.
