Quote context

[...]

- Snow came whirling down, burying any tracks that might have been there to follow.

- By the time it was light, the snow was a foot deep, soft, and blown into treacherous drifts. There was no help for it.

- They were cut off completely from the rest of the world, imprisoned in the very heart of the mountains. And still the snow came down.

- Why, that drunken murderous...!

- Cursing will get us nowhere, Mother Shipton, besides which, remember the company.

- What are we gonna do? We'll starve to death up here. That snow won't be gone for days yet.

- Oh, don't you worry, ma'am. Luckily, I stored most part of the provisions in the hut. I reckon we've enough food put by to last us for a full ten days.

- That's if you're willing to board us, Tom. But it's not right that you and Piney should go short for us.

- Any case, Uncle Billy will likely be back with provisions in a day or two.

- Go check what we've gotten laid by in there, will you?

- Right away.

- What's this nonsense about Uncle Billy coming back with provisions? Why, you know darn well we'll never see him again.
