'The risk of fording streams'

Grayscale illustration of a man and a woman fording a stream on a horse. The woman sits on a pillion and holds two bandboxes.

Two locals of Raveloe ford the stream by horseback on route to the winter festivities at Squire Cass’s house. The woman sits on a pillion behind the man, carrying two bandboxes containing clothes and hair ornaments for the festivities.
