Till well into November the\u003cbr\u003eleaves still clung to their boughs, honeysuckles made shady coverts on\u003cbr\u003etrellises, and put forth now and then an orange and milk-white blossom\u003cbr\u003efull of frosty sweetness; the grass was still green where the snow\u003cbr\u003eallowed it to be seen. Thick and fast fell the wind-blown flakes on the\u003cbr\u003elightly frozen ground. The patter and beat of the flying storm was a\u003cbr\u003ejoyous sound to children who owned sleds and had been waiting the chance\u003cbr\u003eto use them. Many a boy's face looked out as the dusk fell, to make sure\u003cbr\u003ethat the storm continued; and many a bright voice cried, \"Hurrah! It's\u003cbr\u003ecoming down harder than ever! To-morrow it will be splendid!\" Stable-men\u003cbr\u003ewere shaking out fur robes and arranging cutters. Already the fitful\u003cbr\u003esound of sleigh-bells could be heard; and all the world--the world of\u003cbr\u003eSandyport that is--was preparing to give the in-coming winter a gay\u003cbr\u003ewelcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut in one house in an old-fashioned but still respectable street no one\u003cbr\u003eseemed inclined to join in the general merry-making. Only two lights\u003cbr\u003ebroke its darkness: one shone from the kitchen at the back, where,\u003cbr\u003ebeside a kerosene lamp, Bethia Kendrick, the old-time servitor of the\u003cbr\u003eTalcott family, was gloomily darning stockings, and otherwise making\u003cbr\u003eready for departure on the morrow. The other and fainter glow came from\u003cbr\u003ethe front room, where without any lamp Georgie Talcott sat alone beside\u003cbr\u003eher fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a little fire, and built of rather queer materials. There were\u003cbr\u003ebits of lath and box-covers, fence-pickets split in two, shavings,\u003cbr\u003epasteboard clippings, and on top of all, half of an old chopping-bowl.\u003cbr\u003eThe light material burned out fast, and had to be continually\u003cbr\u003ereplenished from the basket which stood on one side the grate.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146519298288,"sku":"2940016096421","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016096421","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
