Excerpt from Stories and Ballads for Young Folks The north-west Wind, driving feathery flakes of snow before it, heaps up gray masses of cloud over the sunny afternoon, and then, as if bent on subduing What cheeri ness remains among the shadows it has brought, howls dismally down the chimneys, moans at the easements dismally. The Lieutenant throws himself down on the lounge, and draws a long sigh. Kate slips quietly out of the room, catches up her shawl and hat from the rack in the hall, and her brother, hearing her go down the steps into the street, wonders Where she is bound for, and Why she didn't say something about it, and then falls back into his gloomy reverie.
