A fragmented poem describes a harsh winter beginning with soft sirs dying and a keen wind from east and north. Snow falls, garden and trees blur to white, chimney smoke fades, and a gray cloud envelops the scene. The wind intensifies, a sea of snow and wind roars like a Maelstrom, then the morning light returns illuminating the white landscape.
Bertrode suffers idle restlessness on Grover's Tract, seeks purpose through teaching and romance with Fennel Gould. A venomous snake encounter, fever, and ice longing set the stage for a rescue and a doomed, passionate bond. After a perilous river plunge, Fennel returns Bertrode’s deep love, and he must depart, leaving her to decide whether to plead for his stay or accept fate.
A reader asks who coined He smiles like a basket of chips and traces its sense of calm to Shropshire in old usage. The piece then surveys origins of the phrase Boo to a goose and debunks Burns and Kilmarnock Boyd legends, noting Johnson’s early dictionary link to Boo as a fearsome bugaboo and the idea that weak minds lack energy to cry Boo even to a goose.
