There was a whole history in those snow tracks, mine alone and kind of offish, and the others cuddling together. It made me lonely to look at them.
He never told his name. He was travelling impromptu, like kings, I guess. The first time at supper I says to him: 'Have some more of the spuds, Mr. Frelinghuysen. 'Oh, don't be so formal and offish, Eighteen, says he. 'Call me Hal that's short for halberdier. 'Oh, don't think I wanted to pry for names, says I.
