I began to think you never would get here, as I was afraid you had been snowed under," said I. He soon cleared away the snow from the entrance, and opening the door he came in.

And be good to Dad, won't you?" "I'll try not to abuse him." "You know what I mean about staying over for the summer. Oh dear, dear!"
