Whether she marches down a

time for beauty routines.

She had to step on the brakes

TO the very side of the car.
Was there something quizzical

Katharine's heart settled down,
like a homing bird in the nest, at
the sound of the words.
The girl at the wheel of the big

hair ruffled in the wind. She
looked straight into the eyes of
the man on the big black horse.
