Jube and Samson made an early start one morning 137 THE SALT-BOX HOUSE in command of two ox-carts well laden with vari- ous farm products, and a little live freight in the form of small boys, while Daniel himself followed later in the saddle, with little Esther behind him on a pillion and two of the larger boys on another horse. The first destination was Captain Burroughs's wharf on the Pequonnock, which the oxen, leaving so long in advance, reached as soon as the master. Thereupon there was a ...confab over various matters, a record of goods received and a list of purchases to be made in Boston, both duly put away in the captain's big pocket-book. Cousin Charity had recently achieved the glory of a large delft platter, round, as were all the old platters, the blue and white pattern of which had been dancing before Mary's eyes ever since she saw it. A like treas- ure must be hers also, for, although even in Eng- land pewter still made the usual dinner-service, there was a creeping in of bits of " delft " — Chinese-ware largely — and of the early English dishes for use on the dinner-table, the " tea- dishes " having already found their place for the lighter meal.
