The sun had already set, and the night-flowers were beginning to scent the air.\u003cbr\u003eFurther within the room sat a blind boy on a stool, at the old spinet, playing wild melodies. He might have been about fifteen years old--only, perhaps, a year older than the girl. Whoever had heard and seen him, now throwing up his large eyes, and now turning his head towards the window, would never have suspected his privation--so much energy, and even impetuosity, lay in his every movement.\u003cbr\u003eSuddenly he broke off in the midst of a religious hymn, which he seemed to have altered wildly after his own fancy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"You sighed!\" he said, turning his face towards her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I! No, Clement--why should I sigh? I only shrank together as the wind blew in so strongly!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"But you did sigh. Do you think that I did not hear it as I played?--and I feel even here how you are trembling.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes; it has grown so cold.\"","brand":"BDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173402919152,"sku":"2940013654990","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013654990_p0.jpg?v=1763583977","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013654990","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
