1 As she passed Ethan's chair their eyes met and clung together desolately.
2 As he passed into their gloom he saw an indistinct outline just ahead of him.
3 Ethan dragged the sled with one hand and passed the other through Mattie's arm.
4 Zeena, who had gone back to her seat by the stove, did not lift her head from her book as he passed.
5 Suddenly he heard the brisk play of sleigh-bells and a cutter passed him, drawn by a free-going horse.
6 The lane passed into a pine-wood with boles reddening in the afternoon sun and delicate blue shadows on the snow.
7 He pulled the sled out, blinking like a night-bird as he passed from the shade of the spruces into the transparent dusk of the open.
8 He used to think that fifty years sounded like a long time to live together, but now it seemed to him that they might pass in a flash.
9 She drew aside without speaking, and Mattie and Ethan passed into the kitchen, which had the deadly chill of a vault after the dry cold of the night.
10 They passed between the aromatic trunks, the snow breaking crisply under their feet, till they came to a small sheet of water with steep wooded sides.
11 They turned in at the gate and passed under the shaded knoll where, enclosed in a low fence, the Frome grave-stones slanted at crazy angles through the snow.

13 He passed by the graves on the knoll and turned his head to glance at one of the older headstones, which had interested him deeply as a boy because it bore his name.
14 By this time they had passed beyond Frome's earshot and he could only follow the shadowy pantomime of their silhouettes as they continued to move along the crest of the slope above him.

17 As she passed down the line, her light figure swinging from hand to hand in circles of increasing swiftness, the scarf flew off her head and stood out behind her shoulders, and Frome, at each turn, caught sight of her laughing panting lips, the cloud of dark hair about her forehead, and the dark eyes which seemed the only fixed points in a maze of flying lines.
