You will, therefore, I trust, good reader, regard the revelation of these things as a special mark of confidence. On reaching the fort I observed that a bright light streamed from the hall windows, casting a ruddy glow on the snow-heaps which had been shovelled up on each side of the footpath in front, and giving, if possible, a paler and more ghostly aspect to the surrounding scenery.
At last they were so exhausted, they sat down in despair: and, in a few minutes, they were a couple of snow-heaps. Mr. Coventry was the first to see all the danger they ran by this course. "For God's sake, let us go on!" he said; "if we once get benumbed, we are lost. We MUST keep moving, till help comes to us."
Already on frosty days the red-breasted finch hopped about on the snow-heaps like a foppish Polish nobleman, and picked out grains of corn; and children, with huge sticks, chased wooden tops upon the ice; while their fathers lay quietly on the stove, issuing forth at intervals with lighted pipes in their lips, to growl, in regular fashion, at the orthodox frost, or to take the air, and thresh the grain spread out in the barn.
