Oh Winter ruler of the inverted year. / . Thou hold'st the sun / A prisoner in the yet undawning East, / Short'ning his journey between morn and noon, / And hurrying him impatient of his stay / Down to the rosy West; but kindly still / Compensating his loss with added hours / Of social converse and instructive ease, / And gathering at short notice in one group / The family dispersed, and fixing thought / Not less dispersed by daylight and its cares. / Cowper.
IF Rowena had been asked if her married life now had fulfilled all her desires, she would have answered emphatically in the affirmative. Her husband adored her, and so did his child. She had full scope for her social activities all the summer; she had time, as she said, to find her soul and brain during the silent winter. For they did not move up to town as her sister-in-law wished. Neither of them had any desire to leave their Highland home.
