Eastertide brought with it weather that might have been called / unseasonable warmth but that almost any sort of weather is seasonable / in the spring of the Eastern states.
Suddenly New York seemed to bloom. Not only were the parks and squares / gorgeous with flaunting tulips, but the shop windows were equally gay / with flowers, living and artificial, and with hats and gowns that vied / with them. These last were repeated in the streets, worn by springlike / maidens and bright-faced women. For that matter the blossoming plants / were offered for sale on the curbstones in places, or went nodding / along, enjoying their drive in vendors' carts, through the narrow / streets of which Beth caught glimpses in her own drives with her uncle, / northward, into Westchester County, whither the car took them often / since it had grown so warm, and where she rode Trump on rarer occasions.
