Excerpt from The Last Meeting: A Story
There are not wanting those willing to abuse the climate of New York, but even the most vindictive of these, after declaring that the cold of winter, the dust of spring and the heat of summer are alike intolerable, finds himself constrained to confess that there is nothing to be said against the few brief weeks of delight which intervene after the hot spells of the African summer and before the cold snaps of the Arctic winter. In these rich and mellow days of the Fall - to use the good old English word often ignorantly miscalled an Americanism - the air is both balmy and bracing; and the joy of living, the mere animal pleasure of existence, is the portion of every healthy man as he takes his walks abroad.
