Quote context

[...]

- The broken-down door of the old log house closed behind the ladies.

- The fire was replenished, and after a last look at the mules and horses, the men lay down before the crackling logs, and in a few minutes, all were asleep.

- The wind moved restlessly through the pines, and the clouds drifted sullenly through the dark of the sky.

- The fire at last burnt low, and the warm ashes paled beside the dying embers.

- Mr. Oakhurst was a light sleeper.

- Toward morning, he awoke benumbed and cold.

- As he stirred the dying fire, the wind, which was now blowing strongly, brought to his cheek that which caused the blood to leave it.

- Snow. Hey, wake up, both of you. Tom, Uncle Billy.

- What the devil?

- What is it? Is it morning?

- Nearly.

- Where's Uncle Billy?

- Where? Why, he's gone.

- He's gone, and so are the mules.

- It's snowing, man. Don't you realize? We'll be snowed in.
