reason or twinkles?

We are all mortals, yes. But there is an element of eternity living within us now. In some people it's easier to see than others.

Melody is one of those people and when you're around her it feels as if time slows a little, and you know it's silly in a way to do so but you can't help it - and wonder if she might vanish at any moment. I have suspected for a while that she probably dances with the faeries in our woods, but there is no way to tell, exactly. If it weren't for the little twinkle in her eyes that she can't hide, I'd have forgotten the whole notion ages ago.

Well, I found her in the woods one day, and set about getting some photographs.
If you look hard enough in the Grey Submarine, you will find stowed away on some shelf or in some corner, a notebook. It's pink. Open it, reader, snoopy adventurer, and you will find to your delight, a whole book of drawings. What's that you say? Oh yes, quite right, they do resemble Dr. Seuss' drawings, but they are not. They are, in fact, our own little Milly's drawings. Every one of them is different, though they hold much in common in that each picture has anywhere from 14-25 kids in them. Babies with hats, babies in stockings, pigtailed girls with baby-dolls and stockings, wiry haired boys with freckles and knickers - oh yes. Each picture is full of personality and fun and even relates some Norman Rockwell traits in that there is usually a story in the picture. I have had many an amused laugh and grin at that book. When you get finished, close it and put it back, is all I ask, dear Snoops. I have grand schemes of one day discovering Milly. As of now, I still debate with twinkles. But perhaps - just perhaps - some night I might steal away and find her in our woods dancing with faeries... What do you think?
