"We were just about to prepare some coffee and make a meal." "Good enough; did you say coffee? Well, I have struck Elysium; I haven't tasted a cup of coffee in a year. You see I was snowbound away up in the mountains; fortunately I had plenty of dried meat, and I was compelled to wait until I was thawed out."
When I went out, the winter seemed past and gone; I knew then what made these snowbound hearts so warm. "Margaret has a new sorrow," said my wife, soon after my arrival home. "What is it?" "A young woman and her child from Ireland " "Yes," I interrupted, "I heard about it; the driver told me. Does Margaret seem to fret herself about it?"
And our own people, starved and snowbound, went out likewise, Tom and Polly Ann and their little family and myself to the farm at the river-side. And while the water flowed between the stumps over the black land, we planted and ploughed and prayed, always alert, watching north and south, against the coming of the Indians. But Tom was no husbandman.
It was growing dark and the leaden air seemed to be filled with snow. They had paid little attention to the wind, but now realized that it was rising steadily. "The best thing we can do is to make for camp," said Shep. "If we don't " He did not finish. "You think we'll be snowbound?" "Doesn't it look like it?" "I must admit, it does."
A curious mystery was solved by the girls, and other members of the company a mystery that involved the happiness of the old couple who owned Oak Farm, but were on the verge of losing it. "The Moving Picture Girls Snowbound; Or, The Proof on the Film," was the title of the third book. As its name indicates, the girls and other members of the company were really snowbound.
Sisson, who is a mountaineer, speedily fitted me out for storm or calm as only a mountaineer could, with warm blankets and a week's provisions so generous in quantity and kind that they easily might have been made to last a month in case of my being closely snowbound.
I hurried back to town to tell Reverdy; to ask him to help me to mend the fireplace, and to put the house in condition for the coming winter. Reverdy looked at me in astonishment. How could I stand the loneliness? Did I know what I was getting into? Could I take care of myself entirely? What if I fell ill again and in the middle of the winter, when the ways were snowbound? I thought of Zoe.
She was torturing herself with a conjured vision of a wild, high place among snowbound rocks, in the midst of which a slender figure was slowly sinking down, and a white and stricken face was turned toward her. This was the vision that had become for her the settled picture of Marion's fate, a picture that was burned into her brain by many, many hours of imagining, day and night.
Androvsky's voice sounded to him hard and cold as ice when it replied, and suddenly he thought of the storm as raging in some northern land over snowbound wastes whose scanty trees were leafless. But Domini's voice was clear, and warm as the sun that would shine again over the desert when the storm was past.
It came back to Pierre then, for even into the snowbound seclusion of the north country the shadow of the name of Diaz had gone. He could not remember just what they were, but he seemed to recollect grim tales through which that name figured. The other went on: "But if you ain't ever seen him before, look him over now.
