As the day grew late they realized that for two or three nights now, porches had emptied early of their inhabitants. The air hard a different, drier smell and Grandma was talking of hot coffee instead of iced tea; the open, white-flutter-curtained windows were closing in the great bays; cold cuts were giving way to steamed beef.

"Autumn is leaving its mellowness behind for its spiky, rotted stage. Don't remember summer even saying goodbye."

"When it is summer, enjoy it, but you must also prepare for winter."
