\u201cYes\u201d he continues, \u201cit\u2019s not that I don’t enjoy the warm summery ones, but for pure coziness indoors, you can’t beat a night like this! The fire burns cheerly, the kettle sings. And the folks gathered about, glad\u00a0 to be in to the warmth.\u201d The old clock on the shelf ticks away the minutes solemnly. James in his armchair turns the sheets of his newspaper, the sound a rustle in the silence. At the table, Granddaughter is lost in a textbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the doors closed against the chill, we think with some longing of the springtime with its new beginnings: of bright warming days and a fresh blue in the heavens of the songbirds\u2019 trills, of the red fields of the cropping, and the first flowerings we so love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silently, extremely quiet this night is: the calm after storm [sic]. The peace of silence after a spell of tossing boughs and rain. \u201cThere is likely to be frost in the low-lying places by dawn\u201d a weather forecast observes. If so, it will be bound to take a toll of our [sic] flowers in passin this place \u201cDown by the old millstream.\u201d\u2014<\/em> the profusion of bloom which was the gift of this strangely mixed up summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere!\u201d Granddaughter says closing her bok [sic] smartly. \u201cThat\u2019s the end of that!… What will we have to finish off our day? She appeals with a chuckle to her grandfather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn apple perhaps?\u201d she suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He shakes his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo. That\u2019s \u2018lead at night\u2019. \u201cOh let\u2019s have a piece of toast and\u2026\u201d \u201c…apple jelly and tea? So be it!\u201d she nods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
