Beginning with so fine a promise of vernal things, late in the afternoon the air chilled and an inch of snow fell even so late in March. On Fifth Avenue the ladies drew their winter furs close about them. Only in the florists' windows could be perceived any signs of the morning smile of the coming goddess Eastre. At six o'clock Herr Lutz began to close his shop.
Then Eastre, the old Saxon goddess of spring, must be laughing in her muslin sleeve at people who believe that Easter, her namesake, exists only along certain strips of Fifth Avenue pavement after church service. Aye! It belongs to the world.
Easter is the chief festival of Christendom, the first and oldest of all festivals, the basis on which the Church's year is built, the connecting link with the festivals of the old covenant and the central point on which depends the date of the other movable feasts. The English word Easter is from Eastre, the goddess of spring.
"But there is a new song out that begins this way: "'Let us sit together in the old arm-chair; And while the firelight flickers we'll be comfortable there." There will be no profit in following Mr. "Tiger" McQuirk through his further vagaries of that day until he comes to stand knocking at the door of Annie Maria Doyle. The goddess Eastre, it seems, had guided his footsteps aright at last.
