The sleigh was sucha tiny moving spot on that still white country settling into shadowand silence.
I told him I had known you ever since youwere a youngster.

They were all a little crazy, but as she was the craziest, theyfollowed her.
You must have been about thirteen, with your hair down yourback. And be sure you tell him to get it onto this train.
