Ahead, roofed with the ragged ermine of a newly-fallen snow, the\u003cbr\u003eDoctor's old-fashioned house loomed gray-white through the snow-fringed\u003cbr\u003ebranches of the trees, a quaint iron lantern, which was picturesque by\u003cbr\u003eday and luminous and cheerful by night, hanging within the square,\u003cbr\u003ewhite-pillared portico at the side. That the many-paned, old-fashioned\u003cbr\u003ewindow on the right framed the snow-white head of Aunt Ellen Leslie, the\u003cbr\u003eDoctor's wife, the old Doctor himself was comfortably aware--for his\u003cbr\u003ekindly eyes missed nothing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe could have told you with a reflective stroke of his grizzled beard\u003cbr\u003ethat the snow had stopped but an hour since, and that now through the\u003cbr\u003ewhite and heavy lacery of branches to the west glowed the flame-gold of\u003cbr\u003ea winter sunset, glinting ruddily over the box-bordered brick walk, the\u003cbr\u003eorchard and the comfortable barn which snugly housed his huddled cattle;\u003cbr\u003ethat the grasslands to the south were thickly blanketed in white; that\u003cbr\u003ebeyond in the evergreen forest the stately pines and cedars were\u003cbr\u003emarvelously draped and coiffed in snow. For the old Doctor loved these\u003cbr\u003ethings of Nature as he loved the peace and quiet of his home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, as he turned in at the driveway and briskly resigned the care of\u003cbr\u003ePolly to old Asher, his seamed and wrinkled helper, the Doctor's eyes\u003cbr\u003ewere roving now to a corner, snug beneath a tattered rug of snow, where\u003cbr\u003eby summer Aunt Ellen's petunias and phlox and larkspur grew--and now to\u003cbr\u003ethe rose-bushes ridged in down, and at last to his favorite winter nook,\u003cbr\u003ea thicket of black alders freighted with a wealth of berries. How\u003cbr\u003ecrimson they were amid the white quiet of the garden! And the brightly\u003cbr\u003ecolored fruit of the barberry flamed forth from a snowy bush like the\u003cbr\u003echeerful elf-lamps of a wood-gnome.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147465081072,"sku":"2940013197442","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013197442_p0.jpg?v=1763577665","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013197442","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
