When you are young and open and still learning, you clutch his dirty hands and kiss his cheeks and nose, and you are sustained by running through the wind (letting the wind run through you).

“Dickon! Dickon, look! It’s a little bird, fell out of its nest!”

“We must hurry, Dickon. She’ll catch us for sure!”

“Oh, they’ve survived the frost!”

“We must hurry, Dickon.”
