"She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves."

Where else does she taste, smell, or touch something intangible in the story? alevine80 https://padlet.com/alevine80/shortstory/wish/299813580 2018-11-02 14:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alevine80/shortstory/wish/299813580 What kind of relationships do the Mallards have?
