Excerpt

The trunk went up at about one in four and the toy would not stay where she put it. She had him at an arm's length ahead of her, the way she had pushed him along the flat, and she got her elbows under her and came up after him, and he came back down the rake into her chin before she had made half of it. She caught him against her mouth.
