“Summer on the farm was glorious. Peter spent as much time out of doors as possible, and he had many playmates, since all the children were free from their spring and autumn duties of tending crops or going to school. Peter had become the leader of a merry band of youngsters, aged six to fourteen, who followed the Wild Boy wherever he went and seemed to understand his unintelligible noises. If they did not understand, then they pretended to.

Cruel orb, my foe, the sun,
Glaring upon things

Go away, foul sun! You make me sad.”

“Summer subió al automóvil y dejó que la noche la acunara mientras el viento levantaba los volantes de su vestido y hacía volar los mechones de su pelo. De pronto, sintió unas burbujas de emoción que subían por su esófago, dándole ganas de reír, pero se contuvo. Observó el perfil de Dereck que conducía sonriente mientras la miraba de refilón. La barbilla cuadrada y firme estaba apuradamente afeitada. Su pelo, oscuro y bien peinado con la raya al lado, se mantenía fijo en su lugar. A Summer le habría gustado entrelazar sus dedos con los mechones y obligarlos a moverse con el viento en lugar de mantener esa inmovilidad tan poco natural, pero que tan bien le quedaba. Pero eran sus ojos, azules y brillantes los que la llamaban como un imán. Podría pasarse horas sumergida en ese mar profundo de los ojos de Dereck Driscoll y olvidar todo lo que tenía a su alrededor. Dereck giró la cabeza y sonrió.”
