Spring had come. Despite the many wet and gusty days which April
had thrust in rude challenge upon reluctant May, in the glory of
the triumphant sun which flooded the concave blue of heaven and the
myriad shaded green of earth, the whole world knew to-day, the
whole world proclaimed that spring had come. The yearly miracle had
been performed. The leaves of the maple trees lining the village
street unbound from their winter casings, the violets that lifted
brave blue eyes from the vivid grass carpeting the roadside banks,
the cherry and plum blossoms in the orchards decking the still
leafless trees with their pink and white favours, the timid grain
tingeing with green the brown fields that ran up to the village
street on every side-all shouted in chorus that spring had come.
And all the things with new blood running wild in their veins, the
lambs of a few days still wobbly on ridiculous legs skipping over
and upon the huge boulders in farmer Martin's meadow, the birds
thronging the orchard trees, the humming insects rioting in the
genial sun, all of them gave token of strange new impulses calling
for something more than mere living because spring had come.

There were two ways by which one could get to the Old Stone Mill.
One, from the sideroad by a lane which, edged with grassy,
flower-decked banks, wound between snake fences, along which
straggled irregular clumps of hazel and blue beech, dogwood and
thorn bushes, and beyond which stretched on one side fields of
grain just heading out this bright June morning, and on the other
side a long strip of hay fields of mixed timothy and red clover,
generous of colour and perfume, which ran along the snake fence
till it came to a potato patch which, in turn, led to an orchard
where the lane began to drop down to the Mill valley. At the crest
of the hill travellers with even the merest embryonic aesthetic
taste were forced to pause. For there the valley with its sweet
loveliness lay in full view before them. Far away to the right, out
of an angle in the woods, ran the Mill Creek to fill the pond which
brimmed gleaming to the green bank of the dam. Beyond the pond a
sloping grassy sward showed green under an open beech and maple
woods. On the hither side of the pond an orchard ran down hill to
the water's edge, and at the nearer corner of the dam, among a
clump of ancient willows, stood the Old Stone Mill, with house
attached, and across the mill yard the shed and barn, all neat as a
tidy housewife's kitchen.
