"If only he doesn't hinder me again," thought the wolf, and ran quickly on ahead. But the homestead was by now near. Again she clambered on to the cattle-shed by the snowdrift. The gap she had made yesterday had been already mended with straw, and two new rafters stretched across the roof.
Then the machine came to a halt submerged. Whatever had received it now came up about the puzzled young aviators as might a snowdrift or it heap of hay. Dave dashed a filmy, flake-like substance resembling sawdust from eyes, ears and mouth. Hiram tried to disentangle himself from strips and curls of some light, fluffy substance. Then he cried out: "Dave, it's shavings!" "You don't say so."
Then she turned Rose quite around, and the girl uttered no question. "What is the matter?" asked Pani. "Mam'selle, you are white as a snowdrift." "I think miladi is dead," and she drew a long, strangling breath, her figure trembling with unknown dread. Pani bowed and crossed himself several times. Wanamee came in presently. "The poor lady is gone," she said reverently.
I s'pose I got kind o' used to bein' cold an' tired; dressin' in a snowdrift where it blowed into the attic, an' goin' out to fodder cattle 'fore sun-up; pickin' up stun in the blazin' sun, an' doin' all the odd jobs my father set me to, an' the older ones shirked onto me. That was the reg'lar order o' things; but I remember I never did git used to never pleasin' nobody.
"The sleigh of Santa Claus banged into a hard, frozen snow cloud, and we were thrown out into a snowdrift. I am not hurt, and I hope you are not. But we must not talk or move much more, for I see Santa Claus coming this way, and even he is not allowed to see us pretend to be alive, so that we move and talk. He is coming to pick us up, I guess."
I used to love to read pirate books. I wanted to go to sea." "So you ran away and became a sailor," adds Mrs. Mumford, clappin' her hands enthusiastic. "I planned to lots of times," says Rupert, "but father made me go through the academy. Then afterwards I had to teach school in a rough district. Once some big boys tried to throw me into a snowdrift. We had a terrible fight."
The leafless rose-bushes stand shivering in a shallow snowdrift, looking, poor things! as disconsolate as if they possessed a human consciousness of the dreary scene. This is a sad time for the shrubs that do not perish with the summer. They neither live nor die; what they retain of life seems but the chilling sense of death. Very sad are the flower-shrubs in midwinter.
Sunny Boy was ahead, and suddenly he went into a snowdrift up to his neck! "Do you suppose it is as deep as that all the way there?" he gasped, when Jimmie helped him out. There was snow inside his rubber boots and down under his coat collar. But Sunny Boy seldom fussed even when he was not quite comfortable.
A beauty shows herself under the chandeliers, protected by the glitter of her diamonds, with such a broad snowdrift of white arms and shoulders laid bare, that, were she unadorned and in plain calico, she would be unendurable in the opinion of the ladies. Again, I am terribly afraid I should show up all my friends. I should like to know if all story-tellers do not do this?
They hain't soaked a mite to-day, mum, and they ain't goin' to; they've hove the jug into a snowdrift, and they'd take it kind, mum if you are willin'." The woman, still smiling happily, was already wrapping up the baby. Breem held up a warning finger when he returned a little later, and again smiled delightedly.
