"Cap'n Eb says in all his born days he never hearn such screeches and yells as the wind give over that chimbley; and old Cack got so frightened, you could fairly hear his teeth chatter.
Freddie hoped Bert would help him when it came to the big snowball part of it. "Is the snow house ready?" asked Flossie, who had gone in especially to get her doll, so she might have a "play party." "Oh, no, it takes a good while to make a snow house," Bert said. "I don't believe I'll get it done before night if you don't help me." "I'll help," offered Flossie. "Can I make the chimbley?"
Politicks and such stuff set 'em a gapin, like children in a chimbley corner listenen to tales of ghosts, Salem witches, and Nova Scotia snowstorms; and while they stand starin and yawpin all eyes and mouth, they get their pockets picked of every cent that's in 'em.
Bunker put her into the tonneau of the car. "Here, boy!" he added to Russ, "you stay with her." "I got to lose all! I got to lose ma home!" wailed Mammy June. "If my Ebenezer had been yere, dat chimbley wouldn't have cotched fire." "Can't be helped now," said Daddy Bunker soothingly. "We'll try to save your home, Mammy." But although their intentions were of the best, this could not be done.
Nothin' contrary happened to market?" "No, no awnly my nature. When the wind's spelling winter in the chimbley, an' the yether's dead again, 't is wisht lookin' forrard. The airth 's allus dyin', an' the life of her be that short, an' grubbing of bare food an' rent out of her is sour work after many years.
"I released it, and it flowed I mean flew up the chimbley." With the shamefaced air of a man detected in the performance of a noble action, he passed out of the room. Husband and wife eyed each other. "That's Alf that's Alf all over," said Mr. Teak, with enthusiasm. "He's been like it from a child. He's the sort of man that 'ud dive off Waterloo Bridge to save the life of a drownding sparrow."
The fleet was blazin' away at the fortifications, an' of coorse the fortifications out o' politeness if nothin' else was blazin' away at the fleet, and smoke was curlin' up like a chimbley on fire, an' big balls was goin' about like pais in a rattle, an' small shot like hail was blowin' horizontal, an' men was bein' shot an' cut to pieces, an' them as warn't was cheerin' as if there was any glory in wholesale murther bah!
"No? how d'ye 'xpect to git out seein' that the walls and doors ain't made o' butter, nor yet o' turnips?" inquired Ben. "I'll go up the chimbley," said Bill savagely, for his mind had reverted to Nelly Blyth, and he could not bear to think of prolonged imprisonment. "But wot if they've got no chimbleys?" "I'll try the winders." "But if the winders is tight barred, wot then?"
"Then there was a scratchin' and a rumblin' and a groan; and a pair of feet come down the chimbley, and stood right in the middle of the haarth, the toes pi'ntin' out'rds, with shoes and silver buckles a-shin-in' in the firelight.
