Crack, crack, went the whip; the dogs yelped with eagerness, they don't bark, those Northern dogs; the little Kamschatkadale bawled louder and louder, and never saw when Lucy rolled off behind, and was left in the middle of a huge snowdrift, while he flew on with his load. Here were his father's dogs overtaking her; and then some one was picking her up. No, it was Don! and here was Mrs.
But Dick, the hired man, was at home, and he came to help Mother Bunker and Grandma Ford. "I'll get you out, Russ! Don't cry!" shouted Dick, as he ran up with his long rubber boots on. These were so high that he could wade into almost any snowdrift. "Don't cry, Russ!" "I'm not cryin'," answered Laddie's brother. "I'm only hollerin' so somebody'll come and get me. My foot's stuck!"
On the 16th it blew a strong gale from the northward, accompanied by such a constant snowdrift, that, although the weather was quite clear overhead, the boathouse at the distance of three or four hundred yards could scarcely be seen from the ships. On such occasions no person was permitted on any account to leave the ships.
Presently the cold abated a little just enough to let the surface of the ice and snow soften a bit, and make walking easier. Then Henry and Ross crossed once more to the mainland, partly to scout and partly to hunt. They easily killed a large deer which was half-imbedded in a snowdrift, and might have taken a fine cow buffalo in the same way; but, as the deer was enough, they spared her.
The Palace was built of blocks of ice, filled in with snow, and arched over with a graceful snowdrift for a roof; while lofty colonnades of snow, supported by pillars of ice, led the way to the audience chamber, which glistened with diamonds and crystals of the most sparkling brilliancy.
The horses, the sledge, the trees, a bull tied to a post, all were white and seemed soft and fluffy. "Well, God help you," muttered Liharev, tucking her into the sledge. "Don't remember evil against me . . . ." She was silent. When the sledge started, and had to go round a huge snowdrift, she looked back at Liharev with an expression as though she wanted to say something to him.
Sift three quarts of flour with six rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder and two of salt. Beat, without separating, three eggs. Rub into the flour a quarter of a pound of butter, or three tablespoonfuls of snowdrift. Add to the eggs one quart and a half of milk, and stir this into the flour. Mix quickly and drop by spoonfuls in greased baking pans, and bake fifteen minutes in a quick oven.
"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."
As they were eating it they were suddenly startled by an explosion so tremendous that their tree seemed to have been struck by lightning. Out went Robinson, with his mouth full, on to a snowdrift four feet high. He looked up and saw the cause of the fracas. A large bough of a neighboring tree had parted from the trunk with the enormous weight of the snow.
In a moment the noise and bravado which had roared from Donegal to Cork was hushed into a supplication for forgiveness. Fitzgerald was hastening out of Thomond to the relief of his fortress. When they heard of the execution, his army melted from him like a snowdrift.
