William's House
As shoppers rushed by William's House, did they glean the flicker of scarlet adorning windows? Did they notice how white curtains tend to caress a few? Snow had melted where earlier other had trooped to the door. A white picket fence protected summer's flower garden; one wonders what it protected that cold day. While others were merely intent upon checking off Christmas lists, Tom momentarily forgot his.
