The girl did not tighten her single guiding strap, she merely bent forward to speak softly into one ear laid back to catch the words: "Right turn!"

Tzaritza cleared it like a wolfhound.
But this time you sure enough look as though you had been dreaming," laughed Nelly, coming close to Shashai, who instantly remembered his manners and neighed his greeting, while Tzaritza thrust her head into the girl's arms with the gentlest insinuation.
