Uponthis Lamb launched a snowball in his face. Hugh grew angry, --or, as hisschoolfellows said, insolent. Some stood between him and the house, toprevent his getting home, while others promised to roll him in the snowtill he yielded full submission. Instead of yielding, Hugh made for theorchard-wall, scrambled up it, and stood for the moment out of the reachof his enemies. He kicked down such a quantity of snow upon any one whocame near, that he held all at bay for some little time. At last, ho...wever, he had disposed of all the snow within his reach, and they werepelting him thickly with snow-balls. It was not at any time very easyto stand upright, for long together, upon this wall, as the stones whichcapped it were rounded. Now, when the coping-stones were slippery afterthe frost, and Hugh nearly blinded with the shower of snow-balls, hecould not keep his footing, and was obliged to sit astride upon thewall. This brought one foot within reach from below; and though Hughkicked, and drew up his foot as far and as often as he could, so as notto lose his balance, it was snatched at by many hands.
