    No matter how much 1c335fbb0c the weather had warmed 5929bcb1b6 up, making the fireplace 509729fe71 unnecessary, outerwear was still 3068b002ea essential.d2d18597be17f275

    Yet, unlike me, dd57462fe7 who was dressed ec2c0fe52d in a thick f3efddc2c5 material dress and 9b044ce7c0 had wrapped a 454a3c5fc3 shawl snugly around a6b521b702 my shoulders, the 0e988627b6 children were in 875c5be1a9 thin dresses, light 38d7f59969 shirts, and pants.cfb623c468981717
