Step-by-step explanation:
As the dance ends, Ethan first hears and then sees Mattie emerge, but he shrinks back in the shadows to avoid initiating contact. The crowd thins out rapidly, and Mattie is left wondering what has kept Ethan from coming to meet her. As Mattie stands alone,after the dancers exit, he sees Denis Eady approach Mattie and offer her a ride home in the cutter (a light sleigh drawn by a horse) he borrowed from his father. But Mattie refuses to get in. He tries to persuade her and snatches at her arm, but she runs away. Ethan makes himself known, and he and Mattie begin the walk home—arm in arm.
