81. A woman of fifty or so, / plump with frizzy gray hair, / came toward them.
82. Angry with themselves because they were frightened, / they jumped first on Teft.
83. Laughter, / loud and warm from their long and intimate relationship, / filled the room.
84. I stared / at the trees, / aware of an eerie silence descending from the forest.
85. A circle of grass, / smooth as a lawn, / met her eyes, / with dark trees dancing / all round it.
86. Jemmy gorged himself, / anxious to be off / and not certain when he would eat again.
87. The raft continued on, / and they smelled a peculiar odor, / sweet and nauseating at the same time.
88. Always meticulously neat, / six-year-old Little Man / never allowed / dirt or tears or stains / to mar anything he owned.
89. Clad in royal purple and ermine, / he was seated upon a throne / which was at the same time / both simple and majestic.
90. Certain of herself, / certain of her friends in the house, / certain of her voice and her success, / Carlotta flung herself / into her part / without restraint of modesty.
