I declare I have been running about the garden till I am all of a glow; and there you sit by the fire, Emma, looking quite dull. Come with me, and I will show you how the little pond is frozen over."</p> <p>"No,--it is so cold, I do not like to go."</p> <p>"Oh! put on your bonnet, and tie your shawl round your neck, and, believe me, you will be warm enough."</p> <p>"No, I will not go, and so you need not teaze me any more."</p> <p>"O! <i>I</i> will go with you, brother Edwin; <i>I</i> am not cold."</p> <p>"Yes, do, there's a dear little Ellen, and I will show you the long icicles which hang on the front of the arbor; and let us just run to the field, as I want you to see the hoar frost on the grass, and to feel it crisp under your feet. Is it not a lovely morning, sister Ellen?"</p> <p>"It is indeed, dear brother."</p> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
