Your feelin's take to freezin', so likewise takes your brain; You go about grump-and-wheezin', like a wretched dog in pain; You long for wings, or some such things, But they're not to be had oh! no For there you are, Like a fixed star, In the world of Ice and Snow. If you wished you could you would not, for the very wish would die.

"I mean something besides the wind. Sounded like some one walkin' on the front porch."

Mebby it's some poor creature freezin' an' in distress. If I was you, I'd go and look out there. Please do."

"Here, you come an' take the Sarpint," returned the father, with faintly reviving hope, "an' I'll see what sort of a place it is.
