The laughing New-Year echo,

“Wake up!” said an old gentleman, dressed in brown and white, as he gently shook the shoulder of a young lady in green, who was lying sound asleep under the trees. “Wake up, ma’am! it is your watch now, and time for me to take myself off.”
The young lady stirred a very little, and opened one of her eyes the least little bit. “Who are you?” she said, drowsily. “What is your name?”
“My name is Winter,” replied the old man. “What is yours?”
“I have not the faintest idea,” said the lady, closing her eyes again.
