Excerpt from Basil and Annette, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
IN the Old world the reign Of winter has commenced. The woods are snow-white, the hedges are frosted over, the pools are frozen, icicles hang from the branches of the trees. Wayfarers walk briskly, stamp their feet, and beat their hands to keep the circulation going; while other humans, whom business does not call from their houses, snuggle round the fireside, with doors and windows closed to keep out the nipping air. Winged immigrants that came in the sweet spring days have long since taken their de parture to warmer climes, bearing with them memories of a bright youth, to be renewed when another spring smiles upon the land.
