[The Phantom Herd by B. M. Bower]@TWC D-Link bookThe Phantom Herd CHAPTER EIGHT 7/30
Snow was packed in the wrinkles of the boys' clothing.
Snow was packed in the manes and tails of the horses that moved with their heads drooping in utter dejection.

If he could get a company to let him put that on, he would not care, he told himself, if he never made another picture in his life.
