Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thankful Blossom: And Other Eastern Tales and Sketches At the present moment it was certainly a bleak place for a tryst. There was snow yet clinging to the trunk Of the tree, and a film Of ice on its bark 3 the adjacent wall was slippery with frost and fringed with icicles. Yet in all there was a ludicrous suggestion of some sentiment past and unseasonable several dislodged stones Of the wall were so disposed as to form a bench and seats, and under the elm tree's film of ice could still be seen carved on its bark the effigy Of a heart, divers Initials, and the legend, Thine for ever. The Stranger, however, kept his eyes fixed only on the, farm-shed, and the Open field beside it. Five minutes passed in fruitless expectancy. Ten minutes! And then the rising moon Slowly lifted herself over the black range Of the Orange Hills, and looked at him, blushing a little, as if the appointment were her own.
