As with cabbage, set out the plants from two and a half to three feet apart, according to the size of the variety, from trial I recommend Early Snowball, Half-early Paris, and Large Late Algiers. Spinach thrives in a very rich, well-drained, fine, mellow soil. I prefer a sunny slope; but this is not necessary.
It was just as the sailor had given over calling out, and relapsed into sullen silence, that Snowball was seen returning towards him. It was an additional argument for despair this abandonment of the chase on the part of the Coromantee. When such a swimmer had given it up, Ben knew it was hopeless. In a moment after they met face to face.
"I heard her tell Mr. Rivers that you must go. She said that you were too old, or would be, for snowballing and rough games and needed the society of young ladies." "Young ladies!" said Leila scornfully. "We had two from Baltimore year before last. I happened to hit one of them in the eye with a snowball, and she howled worse than Billy when he plays bear."
Clarke, show Snowball this nut, and then hide it in your pocket, and see him find it." Alfred did as he was told, except that while he pretended to put the nut in his pocket he really kept it concealed in his hand. The pet squirrel leaped lightly on Alfred's shoulder, ran over his breast, peeped in all his pockets, and even pushed his cap to one side of his head.
"Ha! then perhaps you threw the snowball," said the saw mill owner suspiciously. "I did not." "I know you boys, and I have not forgotten your work against me last summer," growled Andrew Felps. "And we haven't forgotten you," answered Snap, coldly. "You have no right to accuse me of something I didn't do." "Bah! If I find out who hit me I'll make it warm for him!"
I crept down behind the old snowball bush to be nearer him; I didn't dare go to him in his fight, because I had in my selfish heedlessness brought it all on, but in a little while he was not alone, for a bent old figure with grizzled white wool sticking out from under a red flannel nightcap came quietly along the path with a hoe in his hand, fell in directly behind his master, and began a rhythmic blow-answering-blow contest with the fragrant earth and the demon within the man.
It took pretty nearly all the snow in Sunny Boy's yard, and he and the other boys had to go into Nelson Baker's yard and get more snow to make a head for the snow man. The great big snowball made the body of the snow man and a smaller ball was his head. They made him arms, too, and stuck a broomstick through one so that he looked, a little way off, as though he were carrying a gun.
"How is Mother?" she said, "and how are Snowball and Fluff and Muff?" "Everyone is well," said Daddy, "and I have a grand surprise for you." "What is it, Daddy?" cried little Dot. Betty and Peggy came near to listen too. "That's telling," laughed Daddy. "I'd rather show you when we get home." "May Betty and Peggy go with us?" he asked the two mothers.
Then he thought of the man Aaron who slept in a room over the stable. He reëntered the house, locked the front door, went softly into the doctor's study, and out of the door which was near the stable. Then he made a hard snowball, and threw it at Aaron's window. The window opened directly, and Aaron's head appeared.
They proceeded to snowball one another, and set their sledges in order; all through the winter there had been no toboggan-slide. Soon the snow was up to one's ankles, and the slide was made. Now it might as well stop snowing. It might lie a week or two, so that people might enjoy a few proper sleighing-parties.
