Oh, this is beautiful, isn’t it?

“That snow… it’s falling like slow diamonds,” says Isobel.

Where’s all that coming from?

“It’s just like a snowglobe.”

And why are they all drifting over to the left?

“It’s so beautiful (but oddly smelling) – what is that smell?  It’s like… it’s like… are they trying to make it smell like a fir tree forest?”

Or a supermarket’s toilet?

“Well, at least they’ve made an attempt to spruce things up around here.[*]”

There are two doors on the opposite side.  Which way shall we go?

MAKE A CHOICE

There’s a draught from that direction…. Feel it… it’s cold… do you want to take that route?

The other way looks rarely used.  Most of the footprints in the snow go the other way.  I’m not sure it’s worth going down this route.

[*] Sorry about that.
