Then she melted a little snow, and cleaned out the kettle, in which she placed two cuts of fresh trout; and having advanced thus far in her work, thought it time to throw on her hood and peep out to see if Frank was coming.
She picked up a hard lump of snow and sent it crashing through the rear ice-window! "Trix!" she shouted. "Oh! get me out! get me out!" the voice of the missing girl replied. Another huge section of the roof, with the side battlements, caved inward; but it was a forward section.
