The snow blew in a thick cloud over their heads and they heard it sifting down through the trees below them. They were upon a steep side-hill the wall of a steep gully, perhaps. How deep it was they had no means of knowing; but several good-sized trees sprouted out of the hill near their refuge. They could see the dim forms of these now and then as the snow-cloud changed.
Hurrying down to the wharf, we secure places on the stern-sheets of a screw-wheeled craft not much bigger than a good-sized yawl. It is crowded to overflowing in front, on top of the machinery, in the rear, over the sides not a square inch of space left for man or beast.
"Precisely what I wish, Sherborne," replied Rochester. "We will halt there for the night. Ride on as fast as you can." Sherborne struck spurs into his steed, and passing Kingston Bagpuze, reached the high road between Abingdon and Faringdon, at the corner of which stood the inn in question, a good-sized habitation, with large stables and a barn attached to it.

Three broad, bright creeks came rushing and tumbling down from the densely wooded hills about to join and flow on in quite a good-sized river, amid boulders and a great deal of hurry and fuss, a contrast to the profound quiet of our ramble hitherto, the silence of which was only broken by the twitter and whistle of the birds.
The Black-water hills, Sunapee and dozens of other well-known mountains seemed from our standpoint hardly more than good-sized haystacks.
