More rapid than Sikowitz she ran to the kitchen,
And the doorbell rang, Jade mumbled under her breath, the names of her friends;
"Now, Andre! Now, Cat!
Now, Robbie and Beck!
On, Rex! On, Sikowitz!
On, Sinjin and Burf!
To the porch!
To retrieve her scissors from the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away to save Vega from the snow fall!"
So down the stairs jade flew,
With a cup full of coffee,
And one for Vega too.
And then, in a twinkling, Jade heard on the porch the prancing and shivering of the brunette.
