That night King Frost spread his wings over the land with unwonted suddenness and rigour, insomuch that a sheet of ice, full an inch thick, sealed up the waters of Silver Lake.
Roy and Nelly had feasted heartily2, and had piled wood on the fire so high that the hut was comparatively warm, and they slept soundly till morning: but, about sunrise, the fire having died out, they both awoke shivering with cold. Being very sleepy, they tried for some time to drop off again in spite of the cold. Failing in this, Roy at last jumped up with vigour3 and said he would light the fire, but he had scarcely issued from the hut, when a shout brought Nelly in alarm and haste to his side.
If Silver Lake was worthy4 of its name before, it was infinitely5 more worthy of it now. The sun had just over-topped the opposite ridge6, and was streaming over a very world of silver. The frozen lake was like a sheet of the purest glass, which reflected the silvery clouds and white rolling mists of morning as perfectly7 in their form as the realities that floated in the blue sky. Every tree, every twig8, seemed made of silver, being encased in hoar-frost, and as these moved very gently in the calm air—for there was no breeze—millions of crystalline points caught the sun’s rays and scattered9 them around with dazzling lustre10. Nature seemed robed in cloth of diamonds; but the comparison is feeble, for what diamonds, cut by man, can equal those countless11 crystal gems
