"Boys, it is growing colder," announced Snap, as they proceeded. "As if we didn't know it," answered Giant, slapping his hands together. "And I think it is going to snow some more," went on Snap. "Pooh! who cares!" cried Whopper. "I am going to get one of those deer if I die for it." "So say I!" put in Shep. "Remember, we ought to get quite some game on hand, in case we get snowed in at the camp."
"Your corridor has arches open to the air, I remember." She began to walk, and he was obliged to accompany her. "Yes," she continued indifferently, "we have had such changeable weather to-day! This morning it almost snowed, then it rained, then it, began to freeze, and now it feels like summer! I hope Dolores has not taken cold? Is she ill? She was not at court before supper."
I switch on the light and don't trim any more lamp wicks, and the well's gone dry and I don't care, and Mr. Filmer told me last night there are eight thousand more people in St. Mary's. Do you remember that meeting?" "Every word of it." "And Mr. Manson he was a wet blanket, wasn't he?" "But he was snowed under, fortunately."
But I gave no heed to their complaints. I had enough to do to care for myself. My feet must look out for themselves. Why should I worry about them? And still it snowed, night and day sometimes gently, sometimes blindingly; but always it snowed.

Not too near the fire call Richardson hot brandy-and-water bed. He's some poor old beggar," and such outcries for a moment or two, till Harold, recovering himself in a second, explained, "Snowed up in the train. Here, Lucy, Eustace, rub his hands. Dora, ask Richardson for something hot.
In the old days, it snowed too for the powder fell in alabaster dust and foamy clouds, and crammed the air with fragrance. As for the reel which they danced at the Raleigh tavern, in the Apollo room, upon the occasion we allude to, who shall speak of it with adequate justice?
All night it snowed, steadily, without cease. The morning dawned wanly on a white world; distant peaks and ridges were blotted out in the grey, snow filled air. Men who were careless yesterday became to-day filled with an activity which was swift and tireless. In candlelight and lamplight they dressed hurriedly and made speedy breakfasts.
There was the great snowstorm, as you know, and when he did not come home we thought he must be blocked up somewhere, and then we were afraid he was very ill. At last when still it snowed, and still he did not come, Giles went in search of him, and it was not till the very day before the wedding that he got back, having found out the whole detestable thing.
"I feel so ashamed of myself when I think of the things I said to those boys." He nodded toward Astro and Roger. "And all the time they were right." Astro grinned shyly.

The two cadets jumped toward him and snowed him under with affectionate slaps on the back.
