Counting their blessings, these
three steady and dependable

years are the worst" was right,

many bright years ahead.
Of the modern inventions, tele-
vision and radio have offered them

were stopped by a traffic light,

into a dark blue convertible to
their right.

There was something vaguely
familiar about him. She hesi-
