It was a single, small object, perfectly white, dropping out of the amethyst. Tiny at first, amost instantly it assumed a proportion nearly colossal a great bird, white as the breast of the snowdrift, swooping with the grace of the eagle and the speed of the wind.
G, P. Putnam's Sons New York London A Romance of the barrens "straight north between the Mackenzie and the Bay," where Snowdrift, waif of the Arctic, Indian bred, bearing a false but heavy burden of shame, and Carter Brent, Southerner, find their great happiness among the icy wastes.
Look down into the vault what seest thou?" "I see only a heap of clothes, like a snowdrift," said Foster. "O God, she moves her arm!" "Hurl something down on her." "Varney, thou art an incarnate fiend!" replied Foster. "There needs nothing more she is gone!" "So pass our troubles," said Varney; "I dreamed not I could have mimicked the earl's call so well."
"I was out here this morning, when the wind was at play," and he pointed with his whip at a fantastic snowdrift, before I saw you." "You looked as though you had come from it," she answered. You seemed I suppose you will think me silly but you seemed to bring something of this with you into that hail. I always think of you as out on the hills and mountains."
Come, there is nothing for it but to try Madame Beck; and the weather seems settling, and I have finished my breakfast " "But, papa!" "Well?" "I see an obstacle." "I don't at all." "It is enormous, papa; it can never be got over; it is as large as you in your greatcoat, and the snowdrift on the top." "And, like that snowdrift, capable of melting?"
He remembered, and understood her promise now. He knew that this was their blue-eyed little one. In the early springtime we can see it. Three sunny days on the edge of the snowdrift will bring it forth. The hunterfolk who find it, say that it is just one of the spring flowers, out earlier than any other, and is called Liverleaf, but we Woodcrafters know better.
During the winter a great snowdrift, seven or eight feet deep, had lodged in the brook; and the recent freshet had merely cut a channel beneath it, leaving a frozen arch that spanned the torrent. "Don't do it!" Addison shouted to him. "It will fall with you!" But, extending one foot slowly ahead of the other, Tom safely crossed to the other side. "Come on!" he shouted. "It will hold."
"It ain't much uv a road an' thar ain't many people to ride on it in the best uv times, so I reckon our chance uv meetin' a traveler who knows much is jest about ez good as our chance uv findin' a peck uv gold in the next snowdrift." "Which means there's no chance at all." "I reckon that's 'bout the size uv it. But, colonel, we don't hev to look to the road fur the word." "What do you mean?"
He paused a moment and shuddered. Had he lost his senses through the suffering the week had brought him? He shook himself and turned to his horse again. No silly vision should drag him across a snowdrift on such a night. He was going home to Tessibel. In hesitant quandary, he still stood staring west to the rail fence.
We saw that our loud-pedal effect should come upon "Middle Hall." So there, on its lucky bit of Greek porch, we bestowed the purple wistaria for spring, and for late summer that fragrant snowdrift, the clematis paniculata, so adapted as to festoon and chaplet, but never to smother, the Greek columns.
