...harmonica and Conrad the guitar, the children sang till suppertime and then climbed into their sleeping bags. On other days, the Painters and Conrads walked among the ponderosa pine and the aspen trees, past berries and pink dianthus and lupine and wild roses, yarrow and wild strawberry and kitten ears and vetch. Though most campers swear that the forest is a world of green-muffled silence, it is actually full of noise: the constant cry of gulls and other water birds, the chit-chatter of squirrels and chipmunks and the hum of honey bees in the warm sun, the distant...

When she first falls in love with Macheath, she is the epitome of innocence; when she is about to sleep with Macheath for the first time, she runs up the hotel stairs like a kitten chasing a ball of yarn; and when she sings her song about the circumstances under which a girl should "lie down," her face is soft and pale, like a child's. But as soon as she has to take charge of Mack's gang, her clothes and manner become those...
