" A slight exaggeration, to be sure, but showing the oldcontractor's contempt for wise saws pertaining to weather. Yet no oneunderstood more than he the law of probabilities, or the balance ofseasons. Some time cold must follow warmth, foul follow fair, to workthe inevitable mean. And it was too much to hope that this natural lawwould be suspended for them until the middle of February.
In fact, the nights while remaining clear were hardening. The mercuryin the tube sank by possibly a degree eve...ry two nights, at lasttouching zero; and it correspondingly failed to arise by as much atnoon. The days were cruelly short. Darkness lasted until eight in themorning; it dropped down again at five. The frost crept deeper intothe earth.
But construction advanced. The dam of brush and uncemented smoothbrown stones, stretching across the Pinas, was gradually rising. Thehillside section of ditch through the fields was finished and only theminers continued at the granite reef, the ring of their hammers ondrills going steadily and the roar of the shots now and again boomingout at nightfall.
