Faster than fairies, faster than witches,

Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;

And charging along like troops in a battle,

All through the meadows the horses and cattle:

All of the sights of the hill and the plain

Fly as thick as driving rain;

And ever again, in the wink of an eye,

Painted stations whistle by.

Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,

All by himself and gathering brambles;

Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;

And there is the green for stringing the daisies!

Here is a cart run away in the road

Lumping along with man and load;

And here is a mill and there is a river:

Each a glimpse and gone for ever!

For some reason Valerie had to cry again the moment she stopped, perhaps because she feared she would soon lose Grisaille when the rat had to care for her babies.

She put the book down. ‘I can only hope that your man has a different mentality than mine. See you tomorrow.’ Ill at ease, she left the yard to go home. As lovely as the bookshop was and as attached as she had become to all those books, at times it was comforting to free herself from the burden of responsibility and nestle into the sofa at home or share a glass of wine with friends.
