But Grey persisted, and, pointing to the window, said: "It is not snowing half as fast as it did; and look, there's a bit of blue sky. I can go, can't I, Aunt Lucy?" "Ye-es, if Tom is willing," Lucy said, a little doubtfully; for she stood somewhat in awe of Tom, who did not like to harness oftener than was necessary. "Pho! I'll risk Tom," Grey said.
We tried to get a guide to show us the path, but as it happened we didn't need one. Oh, I believe it's snowing again!" Some white flakes were sifting down. "It's only a little flurry," decided Paul. "And it won't matter, for the path back is very plain now. But what happened?"

The girl, who was leaning on her father's arm, walked wearily and with jerks, and several times she murmured: "'I have no feeling at all in my feet.

A few hours afterwards when they went up to bed, they whispered together again concerning the dance, and begged Sister Angelica to let them have just one peep from the dormitory window at their house of delight a request she was glad to grant.

"We were afraid to wait until to-morrow, it's snowing so hard. We might not be able to get out, and the children " "We've got three kiddies home."
It stopped snowing early the next morning, but the snow-plough did not get around in time for the children to go to school. It was just after dinner when Tom and Christopher appeared. "We've come to make a path to your front door, Mrs. Owen," Tom said. "And we'll make one to the hen-house, too." They had brought their snow-shovels along with them, and they began to dig with a will.
