“It is perfectly serendipitous,' said the boy, descending the steps to the street. 'Fancy that—us meeting a second time! Of course I have wished for it, very much—but they were vain wishes; the kind one makes in twilight states, you know, idly. I remember just what you said, as we rounded the heads of the harbor—in the dawn light. "I should like to see him in a storm," you said. I have thought of it many times, since; it was the most delightfully original of speeches.'
Anna blushed at this: not only had she never heard herself described as an original before, she had certainly never supposed that her utterances qualified as 'speeches.”

“It was like coming home; to a place and a feeling that was both familiar and unknown. Traipsing across the hilly woods of her Ozark land, taking worn paths and exulting in the landmarks of trees and creek and clearing in search of an elusive critter or bird. Finding instead something new or breathtaking where she least expected it: a clutch of minuscule bluebird eggs in a cavity where she had only seen woodpeckers, a spotted fawn curled nose to tail in the brush of an untended fencerow, a hollow oak that homed a hive of bees, its walls of waxy cells thick with golden honey.
The comfort of sameness, the astonishment in the unanticipated.”
