"Why, it's almost up to the window sill, Teddy!"
"That's right! The back yard is full of snow, Nora!"
"I know it is. I went in over my knees when I went out to see if the morning paper had come."
"Did it come, Nora?"
"Indeed it didn't! I guess there won't be any paper for a few days if this storm keeps up, for the boys can't get around to deliver it. I could hardly get the door shut after I opened it. It's terrible!"
"It's fun!" cried Teddy.
"Course it is!" agreed Janet. "We wanted to be snowed in!"
"Well, you got your wish, Curlytops, and I hope it isn't any worse than that," said Nora. "Though how we're to get out of the house and get things to eat is more than I know."
"We've got lots left from Thanksgiving," said Teddy.
"Haven't we got any milk?" asked Janet.
