It eats firewood, so that fire spouts out of its mouth. One has to keep close beside it-quite underneath is the nicest of all. You can see it through the window from where you are standing. And the Snow-man looked in that direction, and saw a smooth polished object with a brass pipe. The flicker from the fire reached him across the snow.
"O, my!" she said, "can't you ever take a hill-ride, or build a snow-man, or " but Irene looked so sober that Lou's sympathies awoke. "Never mind," she added, "you'll come up to your grandpa's again in the summer; then you'll wear do-up clothes, and we'll have lots of fun." "The do-up clothes are the worst," replied Irene sadly. "Mamma don't want them soiled."
A smile still hovers around my lips when I think of the frozen snow-man on whose head we put a black cap and then placed in one of the younger teacher's rooms to personate a ghost, and the difficulty we had in transporting the monster, or when I remember our pranks in the dormitory.
Russ, Laddie and Mun Bun were making another snow-man, which was to be a regular "giant," so the girls had the coasting hill to themselves. They took two sleds, for Vi wanted to go by herself. But Margy was almost too little for this. "You shall ride down with sister," promised Rose. "I'll take care of you." "And I can hold my doll, can't I?" asked Margy. "Oh, yes," agreed Rose.
But I know what I will do. I will speak to Sydney, and he and Fanny and Mary shall make you a snow-man yonder, where we should have made him." Mrs Enderby pressed the boy to her, and laughed while she thanked him, but said it was not the same thing seeing the Greys make a snow-man. "Why, George!" said Matilda, contemptuously.
I saw that last winter with your predecessor, and farther back still with his predecessors! They have all run away! 'I don't understand you, my friend, said the Snow-man. 'That thing up there is to teach me to run? He meant the moon. 'Well, it certainly did run just now, for I saw it quite plainly over there, and now here it is on this side.
"What became of the snow-man we made last winter?" asked Samuel. "It froze very hard for more than a week after you left," replied Thomas; "but John and I broke its head a great deal, with snow balls, and afterwards a warm rain fell, and washed it away." "Is it warm in the city now?" asked John. "Yes," answered his cousin.
I've had a talk with Peter. It simply had to come, for we couldn't continue to play-act and evade realities. The time arrived for getting down to brass tacks. And even now the brass tacks aren't as clear-cut as I'd like them to be. But Peter is not and never was a car-thief. That beetle-headed suspicion has passed slowly but surely away, like a snow-man confronted by a too affectionate sun.
“Now I guess we’d better have a snow-man to live in this mansion while we’re about it,” Billy suggested briskly. “Each of you roll up an arm or a leg while I make the body.” Billy placed the legs in the corner opposite the snow-house. He lifted on to them the big round body which he himself had rolled. Putting the arms on was not so easy.
The lady-birches waved in the wind; and when the sun shone, everything glittered and sparkled as if it were sprinkled with diamond dust, and great diamonds were lying on the snowy carpet. 'Isn't it wonderful? exclaimed a girl who was walking with a young man in the garden. They stopped near the Snow-man, and looked at the glistening trees.
