Everything I acquired had to be velvet. You cannot lose your silver spoon if you are brought up on pewter.”

The nights lengthened, went darker, brightened in their clustered stars. The chilled air smelled of wood smoke, of distances and passing time. Frost glimmered on the morning fields. Crows called across the pewter afternoons.”
