Summary: "Fine; I'll take the hint."


"Are you done staring at the snow in adoration, yet?"

"I don't think I ever could be. Why?"

"Because every attempt I've made to find even a scintilla of feeling in my hands has been futile!"

"Oh, dear. I see what you mean; it is rather cold out here."

"Really? I'm about to turn blue, to turn into an icicle, and you only think it's rather cold?"

"Okay, I don't think you need to exaggerate. Yes, it's winter; yes, it's cold. But it's also pretty!"

"So is a crackling fireplace."

"Fine; I'll take the hint. Let's get back inside, now."
