Sir Angus McCurdie, the hard, metallic apostle of radio-activity, glanced for a moment out of the window at the grey, frost-bitten fields. Then he said: "I'm a widower. My wife died many years ago and, thank God, we had no children. I generally spend Christmas alone." He looked out of the window again.
Everything seems to depend on these animals. With their various occupations, lectures in the evening, and games of football when it was not unusual for the goal-keepers to get their toes frost-bitten in the afternoons, the winter passed steadily on its way; the only stroke of misfortune being that one of the dogs died suddenly and that a post-mortem did not reveal any sufficient cause of death.
Jack Dobson would march by, the sweetness of life for Kate little dreamed she that I knew it but for me the bitterness of death. Jack Dobson! I liked Jack, but not clinquant in crimson and gold, with spurs and sword clanking on the hard, frost-bitten road.
I can imagine how you'd shine at a 'tea. Every summer girl that tried to talk to you would be frost-bitten. Do you accept invitations when they do come?" "Not often nowadays. You see, I know they don't really want me." "How do you know it?" "Why well, why should they? Everybody else calls me " "They call you a clam and so you try to live up to your reputation. I know you, Kent.
Russ had one of his hands slightly frost-bitten using it without a glove to make some adjustments to his camera, and the tips of Mr. Sneed's ears were nipped with the cold. This happened when the actor was doing a little bit which called for him to shovel a supposedly lost and frozen person out of a snow bank. Then a clever substitution was made and the film was exposed again.
And not only must delicate gardeners be cosseted with little advantages at these uncertain seasons, the less robust of the flowers gain equally by timely care. Look out for this, and tread them firmly in again. A shovel-full of cinder-siftings is a most timely attention round the young shoots of such as are poking up their noses a little too early, and seem likely to get them frost-bitten.
They were in extreme poverty, and in many cases their frost-bitten, starved bodies were wrapped only in rags before spring came. Those who still had their plaids, or other presentable garments, were prepared to part with them for a morsel of food.
During their absence Wild and Gaze had climbed Inaccessible Island, Gaze having an ear badly frost-bitten on the journey. The tobacco was divided among the members of the party. A blizzard was raging the next day, and Mackintosh congratulated himself on having chosen the time for his trip fortunately. The record of the remaining part of August is not eventful.
Poor Skookum had it harder than the men, for they wore snowshoes; but he kept his troubles to himself and bravely trudged along behind. Had he been capable of such reflection he might have said, "What delightful weather, it keeps the fleas so quiet." That day there was little to note but the intense cold, and again both men had their cheeks frost-bitten on the north side.
At the office all the morning. At noon all of us dined at Captain Cocke's at a good chine of beef, and other good meat; but, being all frost-bitten, was most of it unroast; but very merry, and a good dish of fowle we dressed ourselves. Mr. Evelyn there, in very good humour.
