All t' onct I see a place where the snow's drifted up three fathoms deep agin a ledge an' even wi' th' top of un. I makes for un an' runs right over th' upper side an' th' bear he comes too, but he has no racquets and th' snow's soft, bein' fresh drift an' down he goes sinkin' most out o' sight an' th' more un wallers th' worse off un is." "An' what does you do?" asks Bob. "What does I do?
"Froze, you mean," was Lee's smiling reply. "I thought so myself for a while. We've hammered along, however. To-night the last dirt goes out." "That was an idea now powder." "It was Carrigan's, not mine. It saved us. The old man has forgotten more than I ever knew. Here's the banker now." The door swung open, admitting Menocal, blinking from the snow's sheen.
And then it came out how he had crossed the bridge, and found them under the oak trees behind the mill, and what talk there had been about the sunset and the leaves, and a good deal more. Mr Snow turned an amused yet doubtful look from her to his wife; but Mrs Snow's closely shut lips said so plainly, "least said soonest mended," that he shut his lips, too.
"You'll get a good trip, Father," he said. "That snow's cleared out of the sky. It 'ud ha' been hell if it had caught you out on the lake." "Yes. I wouldn't have made here. I wouldn't have made anywhere if that had happened." The dark man laughed. Peter shook his head. "No. You took a big chance." "I had to." "So?" "Yes. I had to get through. There's a big piece of trouble coming."
"Drefful dirty," said Dotty, scowling at her overshoes. "Yes," replied Susy, "this snow has been round on the ground a good while. It's most time it went back to heaven to get clean." "What do you mean by snow's going to heaven?" said Prudy, gazing at the street, which was half white and half black.
One house has been left standin', an' he's been occupyin' it while the big snow's on the groun'. A whole deer is hangin' from the wall, an' he's been settin' thar fur days, eatin' so much an' hevin' such a good time that the fat's hangin' down over his cheeks, an' his whole body is threatenin' to bust right out uv his huntin' shirt."
We ain't goin' to have real nice weather till the up-country snow's all gone." "I heard say yesterday that there was good sleddin' yet, all up through Parsley," responded Miss Wright. "I shouldn't like to live in them northern places.
All within Helen had been stilled for the moment of her realization; and then came swell and beat of heart, and inconceivable chafing of a tide at its restraint. "Can John fetch Dale out when the snow's so deep?" she asked, unsteadily. "Shore. He's takin' two hosses up to the snow-line. Then, if necessary, he'll go over the pass on snow-shoes. But I bet him Dale would ride out.
Graeme would have gladly availed herself of Deacon Snow's offer to lend them grey Major, or to drive them himself for a few miles. The day was so fine, she said to Menie; but she was loth to go. It would be so pleasant to be a whole day quite alone together. Or, if Graeme liked, they might send down for Janet in the afternoon. Graeme sighed, and urged no more.
The real point is that you're Janie Snow's son and your grandpa's Cap'n Lote Snow and your grandma's Olive Snow and there ain't goin' to be another smash-up in this family if I can help it. I've been through one and one's enough.
