At Thankful Peabody's wedding what news is received about John Holbrook? Who is there to help Judith in her grief?

Jon was captured by Indians.

Kit, Rachel, and William were there to help Judith with her grief.

In the mingled relief and horror, few of them noticed the faint wail that came from Judith, or saw her waver and fall. Kit and
Rachel sprang forward, but it was William who reached her first, and carried her gently to the settle by the fire, and it was
William who later tucked her carefully into his sleigh and drove her home.
