"More snow here than you have in the city?" suggested Corry to Porter.
"Yes, a little; but then, we have to have ours removed as fast as it comes down,—get it out of the way, you know."
"It isn't in the way here. We'd have a high time of it if we tried to get rid of our snow."

"Warm! Why, I wasn't cold one bit. I'm warm as toast."
