"Oh, do you suppose," cried Libbie, big-eyed, "that we may be snowbound at Mountain Camp so that we cannot get back until spring?" "Not a chance," replied Uncle Dick, laughing heartily. "But it does look as though we may have to lay by for a night, or perhaps a night and a day, before we can get on to Cliffdale, which is our station." "In a hotel!" cried Betty. "Won't that be fun?"
When one looked forth from camp, all that could be seen was a snowbound earth; mesa and mountains were as white and silent as some polar region; nothing moved; nothing seemed to live out yonder. It was like a dazzling, frigid, extinct world. The main mesa road was blocked and telephone wires were down.
Her father laughed: this was the Rose side of her of his maiden of the patchwork name the Rose side of her, and he loved it! "But but Poplar Hill! Poplar Hill! Why! that's away outside the city line out at Merryville," he exclaimed, a minute later, in consternation. "Goodness! child, you're not going off there to ski to-day in a zero world, everything snowbound, no trolley cars running?"
Time and again the two boys had gone to the doorway to look out, and Snap had even run down to the very edge of the lake. "It's no use," he said finally. "They are snowbound and can't get here. If only they are safe!" "Yes, if only they are safe!" echoed Giant. Left to themselves, Shep and Whopper started off briskly after the deer that had been seen from the top of the tree.
"We'll be snowbound and no mistake," observed Andy. "Well, I don't care much; it will give me a chance to catch up in my lessons." "Very far behind, Andy?" asked Jack. "More than I like to think about, Jack. I want to graduate with honor, you know." "Oh, we all want to do that." "How's the head?" "Still sore. But I guess I'll be all right again in a few days." "How about you, Pepper?"
And indeed the geographical nature of Southern England should make us certain of the antiquity of village life in it, even were there no archæological evidence to support that antiquity. South England is everywhere fertile, everywhere well watered, and nowhere divided, as is the North, by long districts of bare country, or of hills snowbound in winter, or of morass.
It continued to snow all that night and the next day, and Christmas found the family all but snowbound at Valley Brook. "Merry Christmas!" was the cry, early in the morning, and the boys tumbled out of bed and dressed in a hurry. Then they went below, to find a stack of presents awaiting them. They quickly distributed the gifts they had brought and then looked at their own.
He was snowbound on her in the Rockies, last I heard, and 'feeling fit as a moose. Being penned up so long, he'd likely rather take a hike down to the hotel than not. It would be good for his health." And the little man piped his high, mirthless laugh.
Before the Christmas fires were lighted in the snowbound, frontier fort, they had laid all that was mortal of the brave, deluded girl in the little cemetery of Fort Frayne, her solemn story closed, on earth, forever. Nearly two years later, with the old regiment still serving along the storied Platte, they were talking of her one moonlit evening at the flagstaff.
General impression upon the dazed beholder you could not see the forest for the trees. Psychology, with a capital P and the foot of a lynx, at this juncture stalks into the ranch house. Three men, a cook, a pretty young woman all snowbound. Count me out of it, as I did not count, anyway. I never did, with women. Count the cook out, if you like. But note the effect upon Ross and Etienne Girod.
