From the supplier: Ernest Hemingway's short story, 'Cross-Country Snow,' is often criticized because the Swiss woodcutters introduced in the story seem to serve no purpose. Actually, the woodcutters trigger the epiphany of the story when they pay their bill at the inn. Nick, the protagonist, and his friend George unintentionally leave the inn without paying, symbolizing Nick's reluctance to accept the responsibilities of his impending fatherhood. The human obligation to pay for one's actions is a recurrent Hemingway theme, found in 'A Farewell to Arms,' 'The Sun Also Rises' and 'A Moveable Feast,' among other works.
