Chapter XXV
THE LIGHT OF A NEW DAY The crocuses are a-bloom once more. The lilac buds are bursting with the joy of the new spring. A veil of silver-gray floats over Moose Hillock. The idle brook, like a truant boy, dances in the sunshine, singing to itself as it leaps from ledge to pool. All the doors and windows of the big studio on the side looking down the valley are open to the morning air.
