The alms above the village have been left to grow over. Shame. Good land up there.

A day ends at midnight whether you are done or not. After two in the morning your legs decide for you.

Your mother pays more for berries than I would. Do not tell her I said that.

When I was your age the lift ran all winter. Now it mostly creaks.

There are trout in the stream by the bridge, if you have a rod and the patience. Your mother sells the one.

Your grandfather ran this village like a business and never once called it one. You are the first of us to write a plan down.
