HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

suddenly, she was excited, closed the book, with a resounding thud, gathered her things, and straightened her skirt, prepared to put the book back in the shelf.
