Shasta, a rose-tinted snow-peak rising, a sunset dream, between and beyond green interlacing walls of canyon a landmark destined to be with them for many days. At unexpected turns, after mounting some steep grade, Shasta would appear again, still distant, now showing two peaks and glacial fields of shimmering white.
'You would have done well to change it after you had ridden so far and so fast, said I. It was like the dawn upon a snow-peak to see her ivory cheeks flush suddenly to crimson. 'Insolent! she cried. 'Call the foresters and have him thrust from the palace' 'I will see the Prince first. 'You will never see the Prince. Ah! Hold him, Von Rosen, hold him.
Just then one of the monks entered the room with a large lighted lamp, which he set on the table, and the conversation thus interrupted was not again resumed. The evening shadows were now closing in rapidly, and already above the furthest visible snow-peak the first risen star sparkled faintly in the darkening sky.
Why shouldn't we make the most of our seven golden days and leave next week to look after itself?" "Why not, indeed?" She spoke absently; her eyes resting on the snow-peak in the north.

Nor were these two the only pair who arrived at Garth's philosophical conclusion.
As they ascended, the plain unfolded like a map below; harvest fields, pastures of feeding cattle or sheep, meadows of alfalfa, unreclaimed reaches of sage-brush, and, far off among her shade-trees, the roofs of Ellensburg reflecting the late sun. Above the opposite range that hemmed the valley southward some thunder-heads crowded fast towards a loftier snow-peak.
Then she left him, something hurriedly; and he stood transfixed looking after her, till the falling flap of the tent hid her from view. There could be no thought of sleep for Eldred Lenox that night. Till the moon slipped behind the pines, and the sentinel snow-peak in the North caught, and flung back, the first glimmer of dawn, he paced the empty glade from end to end.
There were moments when the track held to the cliffs only by gigantic fingers of steel, while far below were peaceful valleys and pink-and-blue houses and churches with gilded spires. There were vistas of snow-peak and avalanche shed, and always there were tunnels. Marie, so wise in some things, was a child in others; she slid close to Stewart in the darkness and touched him for comfort.
