Alonzo Fitz and Other Stories

Alonzo Fitz and Other Stories - Alonzo opened his lips to say, "You ought to print that, and get it framed," but checked himself, for he heard his aunt speaking to some one else. He went and stood at the window and looked out upon the wintry prospect. The storm was driving the snow before it more furiously than ever; window-shutters were lamming and banging; a forlorn dog, with bowed head and tail withdrawn from service.

Alonzo Fitz and Other Stories - It was well along in the forenoon of a bitter winter's day.  The town of Eastport, in the state of Maine, lay buried under a deep snow that was newly fallen. The customary bustle in the streets was wanting.  One could look long distances down them and see nothing but a dead-white emptiness, with silence to match.  Of course I do not mean that you could see the silence--no, you could only hear it.  The sidewalks were merely long, deep ditches, with steep snow walls on either side.  Here and there you might hear the faint, far scrape of a wooden shovel, and if you were quick enough you might catch a glimpse of a distant black figure stooping and disappearing in one of those ditches, and reappearing the next moment with a motion which you would know meant the heaving out of a shovelful of snow.  But you needed to be quick, for that black figure would not linger, but would soon drop that shovel and scud for the house, thrashing itself with its arms to warm them.  Yes, it was too venomously cold for snow-shovelers or anybody else to stay out long.
