I saw one of his helpers running past. I don’t know why but I stopped her and asked about her shoes.

“Are your shoes warm enough? Are you OK? Are your feet warm?”

She looked at me for some time with large green patient eyes and then said

“Yes”

Then she was gone again.

It felt cold to me – even colder after seeing her outside in what can only be described as slippers and I suddenly wanted to go inside with a fire and maybe some mulled wine.
