All the night it had snowed heavily, and it snowed all the morning and into the afternoon. Some sixteen or seventeen inches of snow had fallen since Bob and his party passed, and again we had no trail at all. Moreover strange plaint in January in Alaska! the weather grew so warm that the snow continually balled up under the snow-shoes and clung to the sled and the dogs.
"I'll take the bed myself," said Mavering; and he sat down on the side of it, and was again suggestively silent. Boardman moved his head on the pillow, as he watched Mavering's face, with the agreeable sense of personal security which we all feel in viewing trouble from the outside: "You seem balled up about something." Mavering sighed heavily. "Balled up? It's no word for it.
If you try any side steps and fancy ducking of your work, there'll be a disciplinin' comin' your way at a gallop. Are you wise?" Harrigan still smiled, but the coldness of his eye made the bos'n thoughtful. He was not one, however, to be easily cowed. Now he balled his fist and smote it against the palm of his other hand with a slap that resounded.
It'll play the devil with us if we can't make good. 'What's the matter? said I. 'Well, he says, 'Murphy's had the job and has balled himself up." By this time the two men had their coats on, and were outside the building. "Let's see," said Bannon, "we go this way, don't we?" "Yes."
Bert handled the camera. Emery was the playwright, director, and producer. All rights reserved. Everything worked beautifully. The film did not get balled up in the cogs, as sometimes happened. The light was good. Belasco himself could not have improved on the stage-setting. The trail led over the wildest, and most picturesque places imaginable.
"No, I can't, and I won't, Uncle Arthur," he answered in an indignant tone. "If you knew him as I do, and had seen him last night, you would " "No, I don't want to know him and I don't want to see him. You are all balled up, I see, and can't work loose, but take him upstairs; don't let your aunt come across him or she'll have a fit." Here he glanced at the bronze clock.

"If there's one thing I want to avoid, it's soldiers, either here or at the mines. When they step in, we step out, and I'm not ready for that just yet." The receiver smiled sinisterly.
"I trust so," was the response of the wife; which remark did anything but add to the hopefulness of her husband. The animals now began to show signs of fatigue. The snow balled under their hoofs, causing a peculiar jolting to the riders, when it became so big that the weight broke it or made their feet slip off, when new gatherings commenced immediately to form.
Stafford's words were playful, but there was, almost unknown to himself, a strange little note of discontent and irony behind. Byng laughed. "But I'll be able to tell her more, perhaps, if I go to my rooms first." "You are going to see her, then?" "Certainly. There's nothing to do till we get news of Jameson at bay in a conga or balled up at a kopje."
