"One of them took Francis in his arms, and was much pleased to find the child not afraid, but delighted with the sound." The illustration shows Mrs. Simcoe's hound, " Trojan", who once disgraced himself, she reported, by tearing in pieces a map of Canada which she had drawn. In the background is the "canvas house" in which the Simcoes lived.
