It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said, Bother! and O blow! and also Hang spring-cleaning! and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.
