“You can’t be princesses all your life,” Mrs. Shaw said. Joanna Shaw tried to smooth things over (with Robert's daughters). “Your father and I are just used to it, that’s all,” she told the girls. “At least you have a private bathroom. We had to share an outhouse with two toilets when we were your age.” The girls’ eyes opened wide. They could not understand why there would be two toilets in one room, but to Joanna it seemed completely normal. “It was all we had,” she said. “We kept each other company. We chatted while we pooped.”

Otherwise, there was no true colour. Everything was greys, black, sharp silver-white. Inclined sheets of ice gleamed like tin. The hailstones lay about like shot, millions of them, grouped up against each rock and clustered in snow hollows. The air smelt of minerals and frost.”

“I once had a book on the stars but now I don't. My memory serves but not stellar, ha. So I made up constellations. I made a Bear and a Goat but maybe not where they are supposed to be, I made some for the animals that once were, the ones I know about.”
