CHAPTER IV
ADAM AND NEW YEAR'S EVE
Jonah rose, walked to the window, pulled the curtains aside, and peered out into the darkness.
"What of the night?" said I.
"Doth the blizzard yet blizz?" said Berry.
"It doth," said Jonah.
"Good," said Berry. Then he turned to Daphne. "Darling, you have my warmest Yuletide greetings and heartiest good wishes for a bright New Year. Remember the old saying:
"You may have move pretentious wishes,
But more sincere you can't than this is."
"Do you believe it's going on like this?" said his wife.
