Bright bars of sunlight lay on the rag rugs and the pine floors, and a shaft of the stuff glinted off the Wolfs' decanter collection and their cut-glass saltcellar collection (here a discerning eye might see that a couple of the spoons came from a head shop in Hollywood). The house held dried ferns, wicker furniture, an odd assortment of rocking chairs, a hand-turned oak banister, framed advertisements from long ago, framed pictures of flowers from National Geographies of the 1920s-phlox, gentian, evening primrose, wintergreen, bird's-foot...

Whittemore got a goal seven minutes into the second stanza when she scooped up the puck on her third try as it lay in front of Tate and flipped it over the senior netminder. The Crimson battled back with a Sue Newell stuff shot that retied the score at two and evened the count of they're-not-pretty-but-they-count tallies to one apiece...
