With an umbrella over my head I ran to the kitchen, but found, to my dismay, that all the wood was soaked, and the wind drove the smoke back into the stove, which thereupon belched forth acrid clouds from every opening. Paul ran down to where the carpenter had been working, and returned with a boxful of chips which we dried on top of the stove, swallowing volumes of smoke as we did so.
It's no use grieving over spilt milk, and Christmas is coming. It would never do to be in the dolefuls over Christmas! I've got a boxful of presents upstairs amused myself with buying them yesterday to pass the time. You come up with me to-night, Peg, and I'll give you a peep.

My father picked up the books and began to read, paying no attention to our ecstasies over dresses and ribbons, the boxful of laces, or the little shell-covered case holding a few ornaments in gold and silver and jet. We women did not stop until we had explored every corner of that trunk and the two packing boxes. Then I picked up a napkin. "What are these for?" I asked curiously.
Meanwhile, Jack Loughead had come silently up into the long hall, and deposited a neat boxful of the gleaming frost on the table, without any comments. "Dear me, there is so much to tell," cried Polly, with a little laugh, "if we begin about Jappy's Tree." "Who's Tree?" cried Livingston Bayley, who had been wrinkling his brows in great perplexity all through the recital.
Kellyan climbed a tree and got ready, but the camp lay just between them, and the Bear charged on that instead. One sweep of his paw and the canvas tent was down and torn.
