Maytime

None would be there in Maytime, for the season for felling was long past.

Every Maytime when the tulip-buds were so fat and tight you could fairly hear them splitting, father worried.

To them the coming examinations were constantly very important indeed—far more important than chestnut buds or Maytime hazes.

Then, suddenly, all our spring gladness and Maytime hopes were blighted as by a killing frost.
