Travel was slow in the winter, news trickled slowly across snowbound distances. With spring came no bridegroom; instead word arrived of his affair with an heiress recently come to New York from England. She was rich in gold and grants of land from the Crown. Her husband would be a man of weight and influence, it seemed. Sir Austin had married her.
If this snow keeps on there is no telling how long we'll be snowbound." "That is true, too. Well, we needn't cut up the whole deer only cut out what we want to use." Fortunately for the boys, they knew how to cut up a deer to advantage and it did not take them long to trim away a portion of the pelt and get out the steak they wanted.
"And you'll tell me; then tell me, was it true that once, as a wild rumor had it, a rumor that I have heard that once you two played at cards " "Was that a crime?" he smiled. "But with him, at cards with him, Mr. John Parish, a certain game of cards with him one day, a certain winter day years ago, when you both were younger when the train was snowbound in the North? And you played then, for what?
I know it is, and the saddle cramp is unbearable. I am so hungry, so cold, so exhausted; oh, please stop!" Then, having wailed this out under my breath, I would answer it harshly: "You little fool, stop your whimpering. The others are made of flesh and blood too. We should be snowbound if we stopped here. Don't be a cry-baby. There is lots of good stuff in you yet.
Then there came a day when, an hour after sun up, the crust proved too weak to support the Grammar School boys. "We've a thaw coming," hinted Dave. "Or else a storm," added Prescott. "Whatever is coming will be all right," announced Tom, "if it isn't another big blizzard. A second blizzard, and we'll be snowbound here for the rest of the winter!"
I never saw such a snow. And the porter says it is likely to get worse the farther north we go. Suppose we should be snowbound?" There was a chorus of cries of fearful delight on the part of the girls, at least at this announcement. "Never mind," Bob Henderson said, "we have a dining car hitched to this train, so we sha'n't starve I guess, if we are snowed up.
Ross slammed "Roughing It" on the floor. "When you're snowbound this-away you want tragedy, I guess. Humor just seems to bring out all your cussedness. You read a man's poor, pitiful attempts to be funny and it makes you so nervous you want to tear the book up, get out your bandana, and have a good, long cry."
It blocked the door-way and covered the dug-out to the depth of several feet, so that I became a snowbound prisoner. My wood was mostly under the snow, and it was with great difficulty that I could get enough to start a fire with. My prospects were gloomy indeed. I had just faced death at the hands of the Indians, and now I was in danger of losing my life from starvation and cold.
"I think we can safely go out, and make some of the scenes in the play 'Snowbound," he went on. "There will not be much danger that we will be caught in another blizzard; will there?" he asked of Mr. Macksey. "I should hope not!" was the answer. "I don't believe there is any snow left in the clouds. Still, don't take too many chances. Don't go more than ten miles away."
Pop could use a drawbridge in one scene, and, in the next, convert it into a perfectly good cow-barn. Pop was a valuable man. There were other members of the company, of more or less importance, whom you will meet as this story progresses.
