Where Dovetail had streets, they were paved with little blocks of stone 
laid close together. The vehicles were horses, chevalines, and velocipedes with 
fat knobby tires. Except for one spot where a number of buildings clustered 
together around a central green, houses were widely spaced and tended to be 
very small or very large. All of them seemed to have nice gardens though, and 
from time to time Nell would dart off the road to smell a flower. At first Rita 
would watch her nervously, telling her not to pick any of the flowers as they 
belonged to other people.
