Around Christmastime home-longings got extra strong he wrote five letters in three days. I really wish I could quote some from them where he said for instance: "My, but it is good for a fellow to be with his family and awful to be away from it." And again: "I want to be interrupted, I do. I'm all for that.
On our side of the ocean the fine spirit of charity and graciousness which comes to most of us at Christmastime and keeps Christmas from becoming a thoroughly commercialized institution had begun to abate somewhat of its fervor. To ourselves we were saying, many of us: "We have done enough for the poor, whom we have with us always."
A lonely, busy autumn fellowed, and a winter of hard and thankless work. "I feel like a plumber's wife," smiled Margaret to Mrs. Kippam, when in November John wrote her of a "raise." But when he came down for two days at Christmastime, she noticed that he was brown, cheerful, and amazingly strong.
The musicians made the melody gay for the Christmastime with chimes of sleighbells, and the entrance to the shadowed stairway framed the passing flushed and lively dancers, but neither George nor Miss Morgan suggested moving to join the dance. The stairway was draughty: the steps were narrow and uncomfortable; no older person would have remained in such a place.

His glossy black hair was parted in the middle and brushed in a long curve behind his ears where it curled slightly beneath the groove left by his hat. When he had flicked lustre into his shoes he stood up and pulled his waistcoat down more tightly on his plump body. Then he took a coin rapidly from his pocket. "O Lily," he said, thrusting it into her hands, "it's Christmastime, isn't it?

But it cannot be that, because in her letter of two days ago she said the proceedings had been started and she would be free perhaps by Christmastime, as all was being hurried through."
Sure, I saw a rough, scraggly man with a beard on him like a rick of hay, come along this very afternoon, and I up the road talking with Mrs Maguire! I never thought he'd make that bold, to carry off geese in the broad light of day! And me saving them against Christmastime, too!" "Wait till I get that fellow where beating is cheap, and I'll take the change out of him!" said the Father.
