Ann sniffed luxuriously and glanced round to where Tony was sitting. "Doesn't it smell clean and delicious?" she said, drawing in great breaths of the pine-laden air. "When I come up to the mountains I always wonder why on earth we ever live anywhere else." Tony smiled. "You'd be the first to get bored if you didn't live somewhere else now that the winter sports are over," he returned.
"I wouldn't keep it for the world and have you cold, but I can't get out," she answered with a laugh. "Please show me or call for help."

She sniffed the pungent, pine-laden air, she looked at stones and flowers with a feeling of recognition; memories from home surged through her, and she was for an instant on the verge of tears. "But here are other people!" she exclaimed suddenly. Irgens laughed: "What did you expect? This is not a jungle, exactly."

Cold, pine-laden air deluged the heated car and chilled his quivering nose and swelled his heaving chest.

He began to bark at them eagerly, his eyes hungry, his tail beating against the taut chain an excited tattoo. The baggageman turned with a grin. "Birds?" he said.
