Thunder and lightning didn't take orders from a little girl, and the dogs weren't looking at her. They were looking just behind her. She'd have turned if someone had told her a horrible monster was behind her. Should have turned if they'd said it had 1000 teeth. She didn't want to turn around. Now forcing herself was the hardest things you've ever done. She was not afraid of what she might see. She was afraid of what she might not see. She shut her eyes while her cowardly boots shuffled her around, and then, after a deep breath, she opened them again. There was a gust of jolly sailor tobacco and sheep and turpentine sparkling in the dark, light glittering off the white shepherdess dress on every blue ribbon and silver buckle of it was Granny aching, smiling, hugely, radiant with pride.
