The previous winter having been unusually severe, this spring feeling was like a form of intoxication in May, as if there were an overabundant supply of sap. One morning on waking I saw from my window the blue sky glowing in the sun above the neighboring houses.

Oh, no, you were too much absorbed in that horrid business of yours.

Even the more careful, the more artistic work leaves one with the impression that these stories have sought a "line," and found an acceptable formula.

He was not permitted to forget that he was on an uphill path, a stern struggle with adversity. The leisure hours which he was able to devote to his reading, his penmanship, and his arithmetic were by no means overabundant.
