Watson's establishment for "the sons of gentlemen" on the nearby hill. One stormy night in early January, the eve of Dan Frost's twenty-second birthday, the two young men had their supper together at the Inn, and afterwards sat for half-an-hour in the hot, stove-heated parlour until Mrs. Frost began to nod over her knitting.
Robert Frost's restrained rhythms are homely in the single line. The "advanced" novelists, who win the prizes and stir up talk, are flat in style when not muddy in their English. They do not lift. An eighteenth century critic would call American literature ugly, or at least homely, if he dipped into its realities, rococo if he did not.
Lucy was not particularly attractive either inside or out no more was Frost's Lives of Eminent Christians; there were few to praise her, and of those few still fewer could bring themselves to like her; indeed, Wordsworth himself seems to have been the only person who thought much about her one way or the other.
"Well, sir, when you first get a person out of the water it's hard to say whether they be dead or not. She seemed dead, but perhaps if there had been means right at hand, she might have been brought-to again." A moan of pain from old Matthew. Mr. Verner continued as it died out "Rachel Frost's voice must have been one of those you heard in dispute?"
Cavendish is the only character that the author has treated in a consistently farcical vein. Eila Frost's canting old father-in-law in Not Counting the Cost is made ridiculous in his harangue on the duties of the young wife to her insane husband; but, with this exception, little is said of him in the story.
The smile returned, and the little neglected song was taken up where the imagined footsteps had interrupted it. The room was rosy and warm; even the window that was to tempt Providence was cosily heated, and the box of plants that fringed its outer edge stood in no danger of the frost's touch.
The very first thing you have got to do is to beg Miss Frost's pardon." "I beg Frosty's pardon! But she is in bed. She says they are running up and down inside her." "You know you were exceedingly cruel. It was a very low sort of trick to play.
The device of using a Nature picture at the end of a narrative, to heighten, by harmony or contrast, the mood induced by the story itself, was freely utilized by Tennyson in his English Idylls, such as "Audley Court," "Edwin Morris," "Love and Duty," and "The Golden Year." It adds the last touch of poignancy to Robert Frost's "Death of the Hired Man."
'I fear there is hardly any one, said Mr. Henderson. 'All seem even to me new people. Stay, do you recollect old Mrs. Golding? After a little confusion, Mr. Henderson's old Mrs. Golding proved to be Mrs. Frost's young Mrs.
The next was to send and ask for an officer and twenty men from the Cuartel, on receiving which message the major commanding, standing on the dusty roadway in front of his men, grinned under his grizzled mustache and said, "Frost's got 'em again. Here, Gray, you go over and tell him to keep his hair on, that it's nothing but a fake alarm."
