"Make the doors upon a woman's wit, and it will out at the casement; / shut that, and 'twill out of the keyhole; stop that, 'twill fly with / the smoke out of the chimney. " -- _Shakespeare._
It was a mild day in February, and as Queenie closed the door of the / little school-house, and walked up the field that led to the / vicarage, it seemed to her as though the very air held a promise of / spring. Now Queenie, like all healthy young creatures, dearly loved / the spring-time; to her imaginative temperament there could be / nothing more beautiful and satisfying than to watch this spectacle of / a faded and dead nature rising again into fresh life.
