THE FIRST SNOWED-IN STORY
THE FIRST SNOWED-IN STORY
IN WHICH THE READER LEARNS TO KNOW THE HOLLOW TREE PEOPLE AND THEIR FRIENDS, AND THE LITTLE LADY, AND THE STORY TELLER
Now this is the beginning of the Hollow Tree stories which the Story Teller told the Little Lady in the queer old house which stands in the very borders of the Big Deep Woods itself. They were told in the Room of the Lowest Ceiling and the Widest Fire--a ceiling so low that when the Story Teller stands upright it brushes his hair as he walks, and a fire so deep thlly in this kind of weather, and vacation so near at hand; eh, Paul?"
"That's right!"
"You are students at the Kentfield Academy then?"
"Yes. Better move a bit faster. Here comes the express. It will pass the local on the bridge, I guess. Yes, there they both come."
Whistles from the locomotives of the two approaching trains, which rounded curves at this point, showed that the two engineers had seen the figures on the track.
"That's for us!" exclaimed Paul, quickly.
The stranger did not answer, but slowly followed Dick, who scrambled down the embankment. Ere they reached the lower level the trains rushed thunderously past in a cloud of dust and cinders.
"Now you can walk the track with more safety," remarked Dick to the man. "There won't be another train for three hours."
