"Look here, Biceps," he said, flinging the knife into the snow, "I wish I hadn't killed that bull."
Augusta sprang up, and held her hand to her ear. "Some love-lorn mountain-cock playing yonder in the pine copse," suggested Arnfinn, amused at his cousin's eagerness. "You silly boy! Don't you know the mountain-cock never plays except at sunrise?" "He would have a sorry time of it now, then, when there IS no sunrise." "And so he has; he does not play except in early spring."
