More likely he remembers the fuss you made about not being let to go with the Slocums to see the theatre in Pittsburgh. You cried, baby! I didn't." The boy rubbed the back of his hand reminiscently against the leg of his trousers, and Esther was sorry she had reminded him of a painful subject. "Anyway," she said, "you had the best of it.
My cousin rubbed his hands: "I have never known such a frost," he said; "it is already twelve degrees below zero at six o'clock in the evening." I threw myself on to my bed immediately after we had finished our meal, and went to sleep by the light of a bright fire burning in the grate. At three o'clock he woke me. In my turn, I put on a sheepskin, and found my cousin Karl covered with a bearskin.

He ran upstairs, took blankets from a bed, and put them before the fire to warm.
