of　terror　he　had　felt　when　he　heard　the　dead　aspen　leaves　begin　to　crackle

furtively　down　there　in　the　cold　darkness。　But　he　told　them　about　the　soft　sound

of　snow　falling　in　clumps。　About　the　lion　with　its　head　and　its　bunched

shoulders　working　its　way　up　and　out　of　the　snow　to　chase　him。　He　even　told　them

about　how　the　rabbit　had　turned　its　head　to　watch　near　the　end。

The　three　of　them　were　in　the　lobby。　Jack　had　built　a　roaring　blaze　in　the

fireplace。　Danny　was　bundled　up　in　a　blanket　on　the　small　sofa　where　once；　a

million　years　ago；　three　nuns　had　sat　laughing　like　girls　while　they　waited　for

the　line　at　the　desk　to　thin　out。　He　was　sipping　hot　noodle　soup　from　a　mug。

Wendy　sat　beside　him；　stroking　his　hair。　Jack　had　sat　on　the　floor；　his　face

seeming　to　grow　more　and　more　still；　more　and　more　set　as　Danny　told　his　story。

Twice　he　pulled　his　handkerchief　out　of　his　back　pocket　and　rubbed　his

sorelooking　lips　with　it。

〃Then　they　chased　me；〃　he　finished。　Jack　got　up　and　went　over　to　the　window；

his　back　to　them。　He　looked　at　his　mommy。　〃They　chased　me　all　the　way　up　to　the

porch。〃　He　was　struggling　to　keep　his　voice　calm；　because　if　he　stayed　calm

maybe　they　would　believe　him。　Mr。　Stenger　hadnt　stayed　calm。　He　had　started　to

cry　and　hadnt　been　able　to　stop　SO　THE　MEN　IN　THE　WHITE　COATS　had　e　to　take

him　away　because　if　you　couldnt　stop　crying　it　meant　you　had　LOST　YOUR　MARBLES

and　when　would　you　be　back？　NO　ONE　KNOWS。　His　parka　and　snowpants　and　the

clotted　snowshoes　lay　on　the　rug　just　inside　the　big　double　doors。

（I　wont　cry　I　wont　let　myself　cry）

And　he　thought　he　could　do　that；　but　he　couldnt　stop　shaking。　He　looked　into

the　fire　and　waited　for　Daddy　to　say　something。　High　yellow　flames　danced　on　the

dark　stone　hearth。　A　pine…knot　exploded　with　a　bang　and　sparks　rushed　up　the

flue。

〃Danny；　e　over　here。〃　Jack　turned　around。　His　face　still　had　that　pinched；

deathly　look。　Danny　didnt　like　to　look　at　it。

〃Jack　—　〃

〃I　just　want　the　boy　over　here　for　a　minute。〃

Danny　slipped　off　the　sofa　and　came　over　beside　his　daddy。

〃Good　boy。　Now　what　do　you　see？〃

Danny　had　known　what　he　would　see　even　before　he　got　to　the　window。　Below　the

clutter　of　boot　tracks；　sled　tracks；　and　snowshoe　tracks　that　marked　their　usual
