She followed slowly, taking a long time,
as though there were some obstacle in the way;
and yet: as though, once it was overcome,
she would be beyond all walking, and would fly.

lol I was wondering how many people on here actually CAN do a bunch of that stuff. I certainly can't do any of it...YET.  ;)
