Five days out from Ogden! This is indeed a fearful ordeal, fastened here in a snowbank, midway of the continent at the top of the Rocky mountains. They are melting snow for the boilers and for drinking water. A train loaded with coal is behind us, so there is no danger of our suffering from cold. Mr. Sargent, Mr.
On the front seat sat a young gentleman, in a fur coat and a high fur cap, and his young wife. The gentleman was driving; behind him stood his coachman, holding a burning torch so high that the draft blew the flame backward, leaving in its wake a long trail of smoke and flying sparks. Jan, with the child in his arms, stood at the edge of the snowbank.
And I sez: "Elder White is working himself to death, and don't have the comforts of life, to say nothin' of the happiness he ort to." Waitstill didn't say nothin', but I fancied a faint pink flush stole up into her white cheeks, some like the color that flashes up onto a snowbank at sunset.
Aunt Sue's snowbank had circled the horizon and was rising steadily toward the zenith. The sky does not give up its moisture readily this year, else the snow prophets had had their way weeks ago. The morning after that night on which the young moon drowned should have seen the air whirling with white flakes, but only in mid-forenoon did the clouds give up, and then grudgingly.
The other women moved back, their white gowns like a snowbank against the garish walls. The thin sweet music of the instruments rose above the boom of the tide. Ysabel lifted her dress with curving arms, displaying arched feet clad in flesh-coloured stockings and white slippers, and danced El Son.

"I want to be able," she thought, "to swear that I have no money with me in this house. If I can only get it into my apron I will drop it outside the door into the snowbank.
His plumes seemed to be really quite damp, and, as there was no water at hand the streams being mailed with ice as well as nearly a half mile away he must have used a snowbank for his lavatory. But you ask how he arranged his toilet.
Rose watched it as it alighted on a little unmelted snowbank, and, hurrying over, picked it up. It was part of a letter a sheet of note-paper torn in half, and both sides closely written. It began abruptly with part of an unfinished sentence. "That you call me a villain! Perhaps I shall not be a villain, after all.
I found the stock at the barn all right and cheerful; the chickens were down making breakfast of what I had given them for supper, all except Crazy Jane, who had finished eating and was trying to get out of the barn, maybe thinking that she could make a nest in a snowbank, or could scratch for angleworms. After I had finished the barn-work I went in and got breakfast.
The observation platform was banked with snow, and the snow was packed pretty hard. But there were some tools at hand and the boys set to work with the two porters and a brakeman to punch a hole through the snowbank to the surface. It was great sport, although the quartette from Salsette Academy enjoyed it more than the men did.
