After scanning the sky in the back yard for Santa we decided to take a look out front for Santa. We were about half way through the house when we heard Santa's bells and a knock at the front door. By the time we made it to the door Santa was gone. Mquest Jr scanned the sky but Santa was just to quick.

The gentleman began to chat with her about Hallow Eve and the rainy weather. He
supposed the bag was full of good things for the little ones and said it was only right that the youngsters should enjoy themselves while they were young. Maria agreed with him and favoured him with demure nods and hems. He was very nice with her, and when she was getting out at the Canal Bridge she thanked him and bowed, and he bowed to her and raised his hat and smiled agreeably, and while she was going up along the terrace, bending her tiny head under the rain, she thought how easy it was to know a gentleman even when he has a drop taken.
