tuotilo:

It was a bright, frosty day. Rows of carriages, sledges, drivers, and policemen were standing in the approach … He knew she was there by the rapture and the terror that seized on his heart. She was standing talking to a lady at the opposite end of the ground … Everything was made  b r i g h t  by her. She was the smile that shed light on all round her … She gave him her hand, and they set off side by side, going faster and faster, and the more rapidly they moved the more tightly she grasped his hand.
