"I love a storm like this at night when I don't have to go out in it,' wrote Emily. 'Cousin Jimmy and I had a splendid evening planning out our garden and choosing our seeds and plants in the catalogue. Just where the biggest drift is making, behind the summer house, we are going to have a bed of pink asters, and we are going to give the Golden Ones - who are dreaming under four feet of snow -  a background of flowering almond."
