"If I served you right, I would drop you through the manhole, just to wake you up." Things Material and Spiritual. The wind continued all night as last noted, and Silver Cloud, without a tremor or swaying motion of any kind, was scurrying across the barren wastes of the Arctics at marvelous speed.
"You came." "Of course I came," she answered. "Now tell me, Wayne. What is it?" First he made her draw off her sweater and arctics and take the stool he placed at the fire for her. "Wanda," he began, at last, "I've got something to tell you that's going to be hard telling.
"I didn't; I knew I only had to wait and you would give yourself away," said the girl. "Did he make you walk home?" said the father. "That's the reason your hands are so cold." "They're not very cold now; and if they were, I shouldn't mind it in such a cause." "What cause?" "Oh the general shamefulness of disusing the feet God had given me. But it was only three blocks, and I had my arctics."
The little girls were dressed very warmly in leggings, arctics, flannel petticoats and heavy dresses, and wore tied close about their heads knit or fuzzy gray hoods that framed their red cheeks bewitchingly. Bobby had always coasted in this manner, but now he looked on them with a sort of pitying contempt. The main group stood waiting.
It had seats and signs indeed, the advertising signs alone were enough to occupy the mind of any person seeing them for the first time to the exclusion of all else, what with the big painted placard at the end, saying: FOR POLAR BEARS GO TO ARCTICS FIFTY-SEVEN VARIETIES. No Home Complete Without Them.
You know, Mackenzie was the first man ever to cross this continent, and this was the way he went, both in going west and coming east just where I want these boys to go. They'll see everything that he saw, go everywhere that he went, from the crown of the continent on down clear to the Arctics, if you want to let them go that far.
And there, in the hallway, throwing off his heavy overcoat and "arctics," there, with that ever faithful aide in close attendance, was the chief they loved; dropped in, all unsuspecting, just to say good-bye. "I knocked twice," began Hogan, but Ray brushed him aside, for, catching sight of the captain's face, the general was already at the door.
Twice he was unable to extricate his foot in time to prevent a glorious tumble from which he arose covered from crown to toe with the powdery crystals. The temperature was so low that they did not melt, although just inside the tops of the arctics thin bands of snow packed tight. These Bobby occasionally removed with his forefinger. Bobby waded happily.
And when frost holds the high-standing city in its frigid grasp the extreme cold forbids any idea of coquetry, and thickly lined boots with cloth uppers a species of foot-gear that in grace of outline is decidedly suggestive of "arctics" become the only comfortable wear.
Arctics, and tropics, and equator, and equinoctial line; we'll take 'em turn and turn about; we'll do writing and ciphering one night, and geography t' other. Philip spoke with pleasure at the prospect, but Sylvia relaxed into indifference. 'I'm no scholard; it's like throwing away labour to teach me, I'm such a dunce at my book.
