Ethan Frome and Mattie Silver were found crashed into the large Elm tree down the hill. Fortunately, they both survived the fatal collision, however, Frome has suffered in several facial injuries. Doctor reports state that he will be permanently keep this appearance. From word of Frome’s wife, Zenobia, Ethan and Mattie had been on their way to the station, although this assumed route taken was not in the way of spotting the tree on their way. Reportedly, Ethan had been sitting in front of Mattie on the sled and had veered too close to the elm and hit straight into it.

Now, Frome and Silver are safe at home with the aid of Zenobia to speed their recovery.
