Excerpt from Dovecote, or the Heart of the Homestead
Men walked briskly past each other, with red cheeks and blue noses, exchanging looks through their water ing eyes, and seeming to inquire, one Of another, What brought you out on such a day as this The boys did not stop on their way from school to gaze in at the windows of the shops at new prints and engravings, but hurried along homewards, some of them shouting as if to drown the sound of the wind in their ears. Now here, now there, the mad winds drove; gathering their forces at the public park, and by concert separat ing to charge boldly down and across every street and alley that came in their way.
