'The Wind Blows' is a short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in the magazine Signature (4 October 1915) as 'Autumns: II' under the pseudonym Matilda Berry. It was published in revised form in the Athenaeum on 27 August 1920, and subsequently reprinted in Bliss and Other Stories. Matilda is woken up by the wind; she looks out the window; her neighbour, Marie, is fetching flowers from the garden and then Matilda's mother is called for the telephone by Bogey, Matilda's brother.
