The youngest Wynkoop girl stood at the back gate, the wind blowing her yellow hair about her ears. It was a spring wind, full of restlessness and longing, and Nan Wynkoop her real name was A nnice, felt it. She had raked up the dead leaves and made a bonfire, but the fire had been out for several minutes, while she stood at the gate, thinking as seriously as she had ever done in all her nineteen years. And Nan was a seriousminded young woman, despite her crinkly yellow hair, and general air of highty-tighty, as Grandma Wynkoop called it. Perhaps if it had been a fall wind Nan would have had different thoughts. The spring winds and the spring odors arouse all the gipsy in us. We dont want to stay where we are put, but we want to try new adventures, and go, go, almost anywhere. Old Chaucer expressed all this with: Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages. 5.
