The sky was clear, the air had the still calm of autumn, the evergreens and the yellow-fringed elms did not stir a leaf only a large heavy yellow plane leaf now and then detached itself by its own weight and silently floated downwards.

I had known it all my life, and twenty years previously had made a careful analytical drawing of the mere botanical specimen. What could it say to me now in my more questioning mood? Its queer little yellow-fringed flowers hung in profusion from their spreading terminal racemes.
