Up and down three long coaststhey went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road.
