For
real
?
"
asked
Hinzelmann
.
"
For
real
,
"
said
Shadow
.
"
Well
,
"
said
the
older
man
.
"
Sometimes
they
didn
’
t
survive
it
,
and
they
died
.
Leaky
chimneys
and
badly
ventilated
stoves
and
ranges
killed
as
many
people
as
the
cold
.
But
those
days
were
hard
—
they
’
d
spend
the
summer
and
the
fall
laying
up
the
food
and
the
firewood
for
the
winter
.
The
worst
thing
of
all
was
the
madness
.
I
heard
on
the
radio
,
they
were
saying
how
it
was
to
do
with
the
sunlight
,
how
there
isn
’
t
enough
of
it
in
the
winter
.
My
daddy
,
he
said
folk
just
went
stir
-
crazy
—
winter
madness
they
called
it
.
Lakeside
always
had
it
easy
,
but
some
of
the
other
towns
around
here
,
they
had
it
hard
.
There
was
a
saying
still
had
currency
when
I
was
a
kid
,
that
if
the
serving
girl
hadn
’
t
tried
to
kill
you
by
February
she
hadn
’
t
any
backbone
.
"
Storybooks
were
like
gold
-
dust
—
anything
you
could
read
was
treasured
,
back
before
the
town
had
a
lending
library
.
When
my
grampaw
got
sent
a
storybook
from
his
brother
in
Bavaria
,
all
the
Germans
in
town
met
up
in
the
town
hall
to
hear
him
read
it
,
and
the
Finns
and
the
Irish
and
the
rest
of
them
,
they
’
d
make
the
Germans
tell
them
the
stories
.
"
Twenty
miles
south
of
here
,
in
Jibway
,
they
found
a
woman
walking
mother
-
naked
in
the
winter
with
a
dead
babe
at
her
breast
,
and
she
’
d
not
suffer
them
to
take
it
from
her
.
"
He
shook
his
head
meditatively
,
closed
the
fly
cabinet
with
a
click
.

Bad
business
.
You

rental
card
?
Eventually
they
’
ll
open
a
Blockbuster
here
,
and
then
we
’
ll
soon
be
out
of
business
.
But
for
now
we
got
a
pretty
fair
selection
.
"
Shadow
reminded
Hinzelmann
that
he
had
no
television
and
no
VCR
.
He
enjoyed
Hinzelmann
’
s
company
—
the
reminiscences
,
the
tall
tales
,
the
goblin
grin
of
the
old
man
.
It
could
make
things
awkward
between
them
were
Shadow
to
admit
that
television
had
made
him
uncomfortable
ever
since
it
had
started
to
talk
to
him
.
Hinzelmann
fished
in
a
drawer
,
and
took
out
a
tin
box
—
by
the
look
of
it
,
it
had
once
been
a
Christmas
Box
,
of
the
kind
that
contained
chocolates
or
cookies
:
a
mottled
Santa
Claus
,
holding
a
tray
of
Coca
-
Cola
bottles
,
beamed
up
from
its
lid
.
Hinzelmann
eased
off
the
metal
top
of
the
box
,
revealing
a
notebook
and
books
of
blank
tickets
,
and
said
,
"
How
many
you
want
me
to
put
you
down
for
?
"
"
How
many
of
what
?
