Weather-wise from long observation, Banneker guessed that the outbreak would come before evening, and that, unless the sullen threat of the sky was deceptive, Manzanita would be shut off from rail communication within twelve hours thereafter. Having two hours' release at noon, he rode over to the lodge in the forest to return Io's blanket.
Trimble's sorrel horse was old and stiff, and the wheels were clogged by clay mud. The frost was not yet out of the ground, although the snow was nearly gone, except in a few places on the north side of the woods, or where it had drifted all winter against a length of fence. "There must be a good deal o' snow to the nor'ard of us yet," said weather-wise Mrs. Trimble.
Often in midwinter will come, now and then, a long fall of soft snow piling three or four feet above the ice crust, and work a real hardship for the dwellers of these streets. When such a storm portends the weather-wise blacktail will go down across the valley and up to the pastures of Waban where no more snow falls than suffices to nourish the sparsely growing pines.
She sat there turning her head about; she gazed at him smiling, her head thrown back and her mouth open. The light fell on her white teeth. "Shall we get fine weather to-morrow?" asked the mother. Pelle thought they would; he gazed up at the little speck of sky in a weather-wise manner. Hanne laughed. "Are you a weather-prophet, Pelle? But you haven't any corns!"
Curtis bade Ruth good-bye very kindly when he hurried away to the station, and Mrs. Curtis urged her to come and see them whenever she came to town after getting settled at the Red Mill. It was a fresh and lovely morning, although to the weather-wise the haze in the West foredoomed the end of the day to disaster.
The lake's a short cut right enough, only I wouldn't say where to in my crazy old birchbark this kind of a blowing-up evening!" That, and a few more things he said as he squinted a weather-wise eye on the lake, came back to me as I fought his old canoe through the water. And fighting it was, mind you, for the spray hid the rocks I knew, and the wind shoved me back on the ones I didn't know.
An hour passed quickly, and up the ravine, in the deep gloom of the overhanging rocks, we made our way homeward. "You will not quit the island to-morrow," said Tardif, standing at his door, and scanning the sky with his keen, weather-wise eyes. "I must," I answered; "I must indeed, old fellow. You are no land-lubber, and you will run me over in the morning."
I am not, however, weather-wise. I must feel the first patter of the storm before I hazard a judgment. To learn even the quarter of a breeze unless there is a trail of smoke to guide me I must hold up a wet finger. In my ignorance clouds sail across the heavens on a whim.
Beatrice turned back to him, and smiled demurely. When Beatrice smiled that very demure smile, of which she was capable, the weather-wise generally edged toward their cyclone-cellars. Sir Redmond was not weather-wise he was too much in love with her and he did not possess a cyclone cellar; he therefore suffered much at the hands of Beatrice.
The following morning sees us under way, and clear of the harbour by sunrise; but the gathering of clouds in the south soon cautions the weather-wise sailors to desist from their advance.
