A stamping on the hacked, wooden floor to make sure that the steel runners were locked firmly, a wobbly interval as he stepped out and sought control of his ankles, a momentary pause on the steps, and he was out on the ice, with Silvey following. They executed a few maneuvers and sat down on the boat landing. "Ice is great," said Bill, as he tightened a skate strap.
So the Mouse-deer, chuckling to himself, bandaged his ankles, and made them fast to the floor of the hut. "Do you not feel the pain in your legs?" asked the Mouse-deer.
