We were off the road, gleaming barbed wire pulling taut.

We were in a field, in a tight, screeching turn.

We were back on the road.

We were slowing.

We enjoyed a paradoxical freedom when we were still too young for school.

We were not, however, entirely unacquainted with the varying aspects of the street.

We were at a party once and heard an idealistic young European call that awful charge glorious.

`` We have just returned from Roswell, N.M., where we were defeated, 34 to 9 '', the young man noted.

We were less than a quarter of a mile from the road, and we could trace its shape from the ribbon of powder smoke and dust that hung over it.

`` We were on our vacation in Canada '', Howard explained, in a muffled voice that must have been used to booming, `` and the news didn't catch up with us till we were nearly home.
