The SNOW-CHILD (9) [The SNOW-CHILD]
The SNOW-CHILD (9)
Once, in the course of their play, the strange child put herself between Violet and Peony, and took a hand of each; but Peony pulled away his little fist and began to rub it as if the fingers were tingling with cold; while Violet remarked that it was better not to take hold of hands.
All this time the mother stood on the threshold, wondering how a little girl could look so much like a flying snowdrift, or how a snowdrift could look so very like a little girl.
She called Violet to her and whispered:
" Violet, my dear, what is this child's name ? Does she live near us ? "
" Why, Mamma, " answered Violet, laughing, " this is our little snow-sister whom we have just been making ! "
