He had written to her as cordially as if they had only parted the previous day. She looked out of the window. What a splendid morning it was! Outside the birds were singing, and from the hills came floating down the fragrance of the early summer-tide.

"Yes," said the Anakim, who is New Hampshire born; "but you ought to see the New Hampshire sheep, if you want the real article." "I don't," I responded. "I only want the picture."
Now he stood in the door of his house, which was new and goodly, sniffing the sweet scents which the morning wind bore into the town; he was clad in a goodly long gown of grey welted with silver, of thin cloth meet for the summer-tide: for little he wrought with his hands, but much with his tongue; he was a man of forty summers, ruddy-faced and black-bearded, and he was called Clement Chapman.

But when they came on to the level grass she kissed him, and then turned toward the valley and spake solemnly: "May all blessings light on this House of the wilderness and this Hall of the Summer-tide, and the Chamber of Love that here is!" Then was she silent a while, and Ralph brake not the silence.
And fair befall the summer-tide That whoso lives shall see. Face-of-god thought the song goodly, but to the others it was well known. Then said Wood-father: 'O foster-son, thy foster-brother hath sung well for a wood abider; but we are deeming that his singing shall be but as a starling to a throstle matched against thy new-come guest.
"Where is it, Miss Brooke?" Then Catherine, drawing herself up, with her hands behind her, began to recite: "Oh, little bird! singing upon your way, Or mourning for your pleasant summer-tide, Seeing the night and winter at your side, The joyous months behind, and sunny day!
Here and there a spectator nodded drowsily; others conversed under their breath not of the bard of Avon. The air was full of that insect humming which is nature's music at high summer-tide. Upon the final applause followed welcome refreshment. A table laden with dainties gleamed upon the sward.
