Our route wound through groves of palms surrounding the tumble-down tomb of some holy man, occasional collections of squalid little huts, and in the intervening "despoblado" we would catch sight of a jackal crouching in the hollow or slinking off through the scrub. Deli Abbas proved a half-deserted straggling town which gave evidence of having once seen prosperous days.
This, the Hyde Park of Batavia, is where the beauty and fashion of the capital take the air in the cool of the day. The effect of this get-up was somewhat marred by his mount a Deli pony so small that it took the rider all his time to keep his feet from dragging along the ground.

Amber volunteered to reassure Willow's parents when she returned to California, and Willow promised to write letters from the wild world. Willow went to bed tired but feeling honest and sure of herself. "It's a new ball game, squirrelie," she said, turning her head toward the woods. In the morning, she waited anxiously for Patrick in the deli.
Ann had given her a job mornings at the Deli. Willow took her first pay directly to the Grand Union supermarket. She had been to the library and copied a recipe for curry and the name of the recommended wine. She put the wine in the refrigerator. Amber owed Art a meal, and Willow had volunteered to cook.
