She feels it in her bones and she intends to be ready for it." "She should know the signs of the seasons, if anyone does. How old is she now?" "Something past eighty." "Suffering Moses! Eighty Springs and Summers and Autumns! Let me see I was only twenty when I began with the grapes.
The summer is gone; and the autumn; and twenty more summers and autumns have passed away since that evening, in the old churchyard. A young man, on a bright moonlight night, comes reeling through the little white gate, and stumbling over the graves.
