A stage snow storm is the kind of snow storm that would follow you upstairs and want to come into bed with you. A STAGE SNOWSTORM IS THE KIND OF SNOWSTORM THAT WOULD FOLLOW YOU UPSTAIRS AND WANT TO COME TO BED WITH YOU
as much as she does. He says it's cold. One thing that must irritate the stage heroine very much on these occasions is the way in which the snow seems to lie in wait for her and follow her about. It is quite a fine night before she comes on the scene: the moment she appears it begins to snow. It snows heavily all the while she remains about, and the instant she goes it clears up again and keeps dry for the rest of the evening. The way the snow "goes" for that poor woman is most unfair. It always snows much heavier in the particular spot where she is sitting than it does anywhere else in the whole street. Why, we have sometimes seen a heroine sitting in the midst of a blinding snow-storm while the other side of the road was as dry as a bone. And it never seemed to occur to her to cross over. We have even known a more than unusually malignant snow-storm to follow a heroine three times round the stage and then go off (R.) with her. Of course you can't get away from a snow-storm like that! ATE THE SNOW AS MUCH AS SHE DOES HE SAYS IT'S COLD ONE THING THAT MUST IRRITATE THE STAGE HEROINE VERY MUCH ON THESE OCCASIONS IS THE WAY IN WHICH THE SNOW SEEMS TO LIE IN WAIT FOR HER AND FOLLOW HER ABOUT IT IS QUITE A FINE NIGHT BEFORE SHE COMES ON THE SCENE THE MOMENT SHE APPEARS IT BEGINS TO SNOW IT SNOWS HEAVILY ALL THE WHILE SHE REMAINS ABOUT AND THE INSTANT SHE GOES IT CLEARS UP AGAIN AND KEEPS DRY FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING THE WAY THE SNOW GOES FOR THAT POOR WOMAN IS MOST UNFAIR IT ALWAYS SNOWS MUCH HEAVIER IN THE PARTICULAR SPOT WHERE SHE IS SITTING THAN IT DOES ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WHOLE STREET WHY WE HAVE SOMETIMES SEEN A HEROINE SITTING IN THE MIDST OF A BLINDING SNOWSTORM WHILE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS DRY AS A BONE AND IT NEVER SEEMED TO OCCUR TO HER TO CROSS IT WE HAVE EVEN KNOWN A MORE THAN UNUSUALLY MALIGNANT SNOWSTORM TO FOLLOW A HEROINE THREE TIMES ROUND THE STAGE AND THEN GO OFF RIGHT WITH HER OF COURSE YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET AWAY FROM THE SNOW STORM LIKE THAT
