In the first week of the New Year the miraculous¹ weather showed no sign of breaking. The sun from rising to setting shone temperately³ in a clear sky, the nights were little less warm than May, and even the old folk cast the blankets from them and opened the doors of their press-beds; the peat-stacks and the fuel-stacks were scarcely touched, and the fires smouldered only for cooking; the burns were shrunken to summer size, and the spawning⁵ fish could not pass the shallows of Rood. But a change had come over the mind of the parish. Men no longer called down blessings⁶ on the fine open winter, for such weather seemed in defiance⁷ of nature, and an uneasy anticipation⁸ of portents⁹ weighed on their spirits. The sun did not warm, the unclouded skies did not cheer, the hard roads did not invite to movement. A curious languor¹⁰ fell upon Woodilee.

It seemed as if the same apprehension¹¹ were felt by the natural world. The cattle and sheep, in spite of the good pasture, grew thinner than in the rigours of winter. The packman’s pony¹² turned away from the rich bite by the roadside. Though the air was cool and tonic¹³, beast and man sweated with the smallest exertion¹⁴. David, tramping the high moors
