“Moscow, just past midwinter, and the haze of ten thousand fires rose to meet a smothering sky. To the west a little light lingered, but in the east the clouds mounded up, bruise-colored in the livid dusk, buckling with unfallen snow.”

For an instant, they were silent.
Then he spoke. "A thunderstorm, Vasya?" he said, with effort.”
