His neighbors followed his example, and, save for two or three red glimmers of light here and there, the little village looked as though it had been deserted long ago a picture of frost-bound silence and solitude. Meanwhile, in Lovisa Elsland's close and comfortless dwelling, stood Olaf Gueldmar.
Groping for a word, she pushed aside her writing and stared out at the sallow frozen landscape framed by the window at which she sat. The sleet had ceased, and hollows of sunless blue showed through the driving wind-clouds. A hard sky and a hard ground frost-bound ringing earth under rigid ice-mailed trees.
Even at this dreary season the country had charms, which Mr. Bloundel, after his long confinement, could fully appreciate. His eye roamed over the wide prospect; and the leafless trees, the bare hedges, and the frost-bound fields seemed pleasant in his sight. He quickened his pace, and being wholly indifferent to the cold, greatly enjoyed the exercise.
"'Yes, here it will be a poor and frost-bound land, said our Lord, 'it can't be helped." When little Mats had gotten this far in his story, Osa, the goose-girl, protested: "I cannot bear, little Mats, to hear you say that it is so miserable in Småland," said she.

Gloomy Frische Haf, wrapped in its Winter cloud-coverlids, with its wastes of tumbled sand, its poor frost-bound fishing-hamlets, pine hillocks desolate- looking, stern as Greenland, or more so, says Busching, who travelled there in winter-time hears unexpected human voices, and huge grinding and trampling; the Four thousand, in long fleet of sledges, scouring across it in that manner.
How could I take mother's Bible, and run from my pretty one, who expects me, and dreams she'll wake with me beside her in the morning! I can't I can't If you love me, Edward, you won't wish it." She fell into a chair, crying wildly, and muffling her sobs. Rhoda's eyelids grew moist, but wonder and the cold anguish of senseless sympathy held her still frost-bound.
Supposing the surface to be completely frost-bound, all atmospheric pressure will be removed from the upper surface of the water in the long fissures, and thus water may be held in suspension, in the centre of large masses of fissured rock, during the winter months.
On one of the lakes a swan was asleep; its long back was white as the snow of the frost-bound steppes, while glow-worms gleamed like diamonds in the bluish shadow at the base of a statue. 'We are near Mannheim, said Alice; 'this is the Schwetzingen garden. 'We are in Germany, I thought, and I fell to listening.
