I -- I remember when my sister and I stayed with Uncle Freyr, how I would pile onto a sled with Little Hnoss and Mischievous Syn, and we three would sail down the embankments bordering the house!

[ She whips around, spinning really, to Jack, grinning from ear to ear once more. ] Sometimes we crashed. It was all right. No lasting injuries sustained, but Auntie Gerd would go with us on the next run and she is beautiful! The snow becomes her and listens to her and I think she may even command it to do as she says.
