"Some travelers are snowbound on the road to Radzanow, we need people to help us to dig them out." On hearing this all were seized with fear the prince was alarmed, and turning toward the castellan of Sokhochova, he commanded: "Horses and spades! Hasten!" Then he said to the man who brought the news: "Are there many under the snow?"
You're going to be hazed into a Cowboys' Mutual Improvement and Social Society, and quit smoking cigarettes and cussing your hosses and laying over Rusty's bar when yuh ride into town; and for pleasure and recreation you're going to read Tennyson's poems, and when yuh get caught out in a blizzard yuh'll be heeled with Whittier's Snowbound, pocket edition. Yuh " "Mama mine," broke in Weary.
Bert and Nancy knew that they would not spend another Christmas alone, and the shadowy hope for April lent a new tone even to their gayety, and deepened the exquisite happiness of the dark, snowbound day. The tiny house was full of laughter, for Bert had given his wife all the little things she had from time to time whimsically desired.
Bernards—those models of integrity and courage—have fallen into the habit of carrying the flasks of brandy that the kind monks provide for the succor of snowbound travellers, to the neighboring hamlets and exchanging the contents for—chops!
Picture that snowbound train, that great citizen, and Parish, playing and playing, until at last it came to the question of a woman not so beautiful as this one here, but in her own way shrewd, the same sort of woman, I might say mysterious, beautiful, and no, don't protest, and I'll not describe.

Half a dozen times that night David had walked from end to end of the five snowbound coaches that made up the Transcontinental. He believed that for him it was an act of Providence that had delayed the train. Otherwise a sleeping car would have been picked up at the next divisional point, and he would not have unburdened himself to Father Roland.
"Getting in that wood was a wise stunt," observed Smith, "for the next time we see the old Roost it will probably be snowbound." Old Ben had been watching for their return most of the afternoon. As they came across the stream and up to the road below the inn, he called Mr. Allen to the door.
"Why last winter I had six of the relation on my side and on hisen, snowbound to our house for a week, and I thought I should go distracted tryin' to keep the house clean, and suit 'em all in vittles, and some on 'em jealous thinkin' I gin the others a better bed, and the other relation comin' in to see 'em and kinder disputin' and twittin' 'em as relation will, and kinder jealous of me because they wuz visitin' me instead of them, and my folks callin' me extravagant in vittles I had a dretful time.
There would be periods during which they would be silent, listening to the howling and moaning of the wind hours at a stretch when the cold outside would seem to threaten, to tighten its constricting circle, when a great awe oppressed them; when it seemed that the whole world was snowbound, and that it would keep piling over and around them and all life would be extinct.
