A Dance with Dragons 2011-07-12T00:00:00Z The Mask backs into the blood pooled near Nan’s head, and Darin is on him, knocking him to the ground, raining down blows.

Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I held Nan’s crutches as Abby’s mom tried to help her in, but Nan grunted, gritted her teeth, and got into the van on her own. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan called it a search for substance, but I’d noticed a bit of a pattern. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z One: I was being what Nan called “proactive,” taking charge and doing something. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan had taught me to be cautious when it came to commitments. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “I wanted you each to have something of Nan’s,” Mom says. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z I wanted Maddy to love Nan as much as I did, but they never exchanged more than a hello. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z In Old Nan's stories about men who were given magic wishes by a grumkin, you had to be especially careful with the third wish, because it was the last. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z As soon as their minivan spewed dust on its way out of our driveway, Nan hobbled to our door. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan picked up one advertising “10 great looks with one easy pattern!” and said, “It’s like an envelope full of options. You want it?” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan closed her eyes, took a slow bite of peach, and got a far-off look. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z With Nan’s arm over my shoulder we lumbered along, and I felt like I was leaving a bread crumb trail of my heart the whole way back. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Jon remembered Old Nan's tales of the savage folk who drank blood from human skulls. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z Mom is sad about losing Nan, and probably she misses Aunt Louise. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z Nan once said that there's hope in life. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z When I walked into Nan’s room, she looked like my regular old Nan, only a little rumpled. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I wasn’t going to earn enough money at the Fabric Barn to make a real difference, and I couldn’t take care of Nan on my own. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan and I were supposed to hand out cakes and pastries this year. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z Nan answered my pleading look with a discreet shrug. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z He had liked Old Nan and her stories once. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z Since Darin’s eyes were sharp as a cat’s, I was always the one stuck stealing apricots from the neighbors, or pouring cold water down the back of Nan’s shirt. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z It made Bran's skin prickle to think of it* He remembered the hearth tales Old Nan told them. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z “Nope, just want to make sure Nan eats something before her big evening out,” he said. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan and Wynn got along, but those hours were full of tightness and a lot of quiet. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "I am not in the habit of being ques-tioned by servants, Nan. Must I have your tongue out?" A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z Nan touched my arm, and that worried look washed over her face again. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z When Wynn turned to face Nan, I backed into the bathroom doorway. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan straightened herself in the chair and avoided my told-you-so look when a knock sounded at the front door. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z The headline caught my eye as I helped Nan in and Wynn said, “Made a fresh pot of coffee.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan looked at her and said, “‘Youth has no age.’ Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z She remembered Old Nan's stories of the castle built on fear. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z “Nan, are you okay? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left you alone here with all this work to do.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Saturday morning, Nan looked almost like her old self. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan said it wasn’t anyone’s fault, but I could tell she didn’t believe it. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "Well," Bran said reluctantly, "yes, only . . ." Old Nan nodded. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z After my parents left us with Nan and Pop, it took weeks for me to stop feeling jumpy, to get used to living with two people who actually seemed to love each other. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z I held Nan’s hand and rested my forehead on the edge of the gurney. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Not long after my daddy died, I moved in with Nan, and my momma, well, she just sort of moved on. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Almost more than anything else, Nan liked to have options. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan turned to go back to her room. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z One was of a Big Bird birthday cake and my dad singing loud, Nan and Momma laughing and covering their ears. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "Old Nan told me about him. He had a long staff with blades at both ends and he could spin it in his hands and chop two men at once." A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z I wanted Nan and me to find a home, but really, the one thing I truly wanted was to wish that motorcycle out of existence. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Old Nan had told her there were spiders down here, and rats as big as dogs. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z “That one is a Nan Johnson original with a dash of Teddy Roosevelt.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Blood seeps across the platform, and I shudder, chillingly reminded of how Nan died, in a pool of blood just like this one. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z Nan walked behind me mumbling something about neighbors as the camera zoomed in on Arletta wearing a chambray denim shirtdress and sitting at a worn oak table. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Yeah, too bad,” I said and earned my own look from Nan. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z But then Nan got sick and Mom didn’t have time to study. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z "I know a story about a boy who hated stories," Old Nan said with her stupid little smile, her needles moving all the while, click click click, until Bran was ready to scream at her. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z Sometimes Old Nan told it one way and sometimes another. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z Wun Wun was very little like the giants in Old Nan’s tales, those huge savage creatures who mixed blood into their morning porridge and devoured whole bulls, hair and hide and horns. A Dance with Dragons 2011-07-12T00:00:00Z The Mask doesn’t give Nan a second glance. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z No one even told me Nan died until I got home from camp, which I was totally not okay with. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z Old Nan stood with her soft toothless mouth opening and closing soundlessly, and Farlen threw himself at Theon, snarling like one of his hounds. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z Though Old Nan did not think so, and she'd lived longer than any of them. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z Nan squirmed—if Colonel Smith had been on her he would doubtless have rolled off. Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z There’s always been a spot inside me where I keep Nan and England safe. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z "The Prince Who Thought He Was a Dragon" was one of Old Nan's more gruesome tales. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z Nan yelled and motioned to a toppled chair and a pile of pink fabric, winced, and grabbed her ribs. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z We made a plan for the whole afternoon, and her dad was ready, should Nan need anything big. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z It was hard to believe that he was the same blood as Old Nan.,Bran wondered if he would shrivel up as small as his great-grandmother when he was old. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z Unbidden, he thought back on the tales that Old Nan used to tell them, when he was a boy at Winterfell. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z And Nan went with it, taking me to the grocery store and daycare with my handbag hat, smiling the whole time. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan had a stockpile of quotes about lying, but I knew the situation called for more fibbing than usual, at least until I’d worked out what to do next. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z By the time school started in August, Nan and I had done a heaping handful of hard things. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Hot Pie was kneeling too, before the tallest man Arya had ever seen, a monster from one of Old Nan's stories. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z Nan hopped up faster than she’d moved all month, put both arms around me, and squeezed. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Instead, I left a papier-mâché pencil holder on her porch the day before Nan and I left. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I miss Pop's growling laugh and Nan's stories. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z Rather than say no, I rushed past her and fell to my knees next to Nan. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan’s selection of remnants was a little flashy for my tastes, but I figured she hadn’t come to hear my advice. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan stumbles to her feet and takes one tottering step toward the Mask. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z Nan reached over and plopped a handful of mini-marshmallows and a heaping spoon of brown sugar in my bowl when his back was turned, but I still didn’t eat a bite. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z She said pink boxed people in, and Nan wasn’t one for containment. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Oh my,” Nan said and fanned the air. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z On the drive to town, Wynn looked over at Nan and said, “You remember that time Clay and I rode our bikes straight through old man Hodges’s yard and into his pool?” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z The tricky part was getting Nan to pick Hope Springs out of all those other towns. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I wasn’t sure which “it” he meant—Momma’s letters and now her interference, him acting like a spoiled baby and not opening my gift, or Nan and our next move. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I knew Nan opened hers because I’d seen the check on the kitchen counter. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z ‘Look you,’ he said, ‘run fetch your horse and I’ll take Nan. I want to show you how to jump.’ Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z Momma is in that picture and so are Wynn and Nan. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan winked at me, clearly wise to my tricks. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "You will call me my lord when you speak to me, Nan," the lord said mildly. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z At four-thirty he had Nan saddled and led her to the mounting block in front of the inn. Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z For the next half hour, Nan banged around and said at least half a dozen almost-swears. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan nodded, and I could tell she was impressed. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan was an English major before she settled on nursing and hadn’t managed to shake it. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Then I sat back and waited for Nan to quote one of our Relocation Rules or some artist. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Once he leapt right into Old Nan and knocked her to die floor. A Dance with Dragons 2011-07-12T00:00:00Z Maybe it was that I’d let Nan think I’d called her, or maybe it was that she hadn’t called me back—or called at all in months. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan, with her frail body and burning eyes. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z The lamps are lit, and Nan and Pop kneel in the middle of the floor, their hands bound behind their backs. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z Nan once told me that my mom’s heart had been broken by my daddy’s death. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan and I always did a drive-through in a new town, but our Hope Springs exploration didn’t last long because there wasn’t much to drive through. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan shook her head, stood, looked me over, and put her hands on my shoulders. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I knew I needed to get back to Nan but didn’t feel like I could take a gift and run. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Some of the rules had a double dose of Nan and only a sprinkle of me. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan and I had a Relocation Rule for this kind of predicament: When something is totally new, pretend it isn’t. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Sometimes he exercised Colonel Smith’s two horses, riding Sandy and leading Nan. Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z Old Nan undressed her and helped her into a scalding hot bath and washed the blood off her with a soft cloth. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z I lowered my head into my hands, heard a rustling in the kitchen, and looked over to see Nan getting a glass of water. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “But it’s not like you to get so wrapped up in local concerns,” Nan said, fixing me with her eyes. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Her main interests are baking and church. She thinks her piecrust recipe is a personal gift from Jesus himself. If you ask me, the crust is the worst part of a pie. Nan cook much?” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z He'd refused to eat, cried and screamed for most of a night, even punched Old Nan when she tried to sing him to sleep, and the next day he'd vanished. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z I glanced over at Nan to see if she felt the same. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z More children, he told himself, the girl is not the only one, but Old Nan’s tale of Gendel’s children came back to him as well. A Dance with Dragons 2011-07-12T00:00:00Z Nan stood and wrapped me up in a hug even though I could tell it hurt. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z The countryside becomes breathtakingly beautiful, rolling hills dotted with outcroppings of limestone rock against the backdrop of the Nan Ling Mountains. Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z To start with, I had Abby’s number, and I had Nan’s cell phone. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z She nodded in the direction of Wynn’s pickup parked next to Nan’s car. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Besides, Momma never made Nan anything but worse. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Admitting my feelings to Nan was a bit different from telling Momma. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan shook her hand and said, “I’m Nannette Johnson and this is my granddaughter, Jubilee.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z My teacher called Nan, and when she got there, they spoke in the hallway in whispers. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z With Kurry on my lap, I began, pretending that life really was the way Bert and Nan found it—one good time after another and nothing ever going very wrong. Homesick 1982-01-01T00:00:00Z I was nearly out the door when Wynn said, “Hold up, Jubilee. I’d like to talk to you and Nan for a minute.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z We laughed and talked, and Wynn ran back and forth for refreshments in between Nan hollering suggestions and inspiring quotes from the porch. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z We had plenty of food, and even if we needed gas money, Nan wouldn’t be driving anywhere. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Nan, I know it’s normally just the two of us. But what if this time we let some people help. I barely know Abby, but you said yourself she’s great. There’s Holly too.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z She pointed to the pink ones Nan hadn’t managed to rip down. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Well, I guess one of you can stay in Jubilee’s craft room. And that couch folds out,” Nan said. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z He shook his head, then tried to sneak a glance at the other EMT, but Nan caught him. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “I’m Jubilee. Nan and I just moved here.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Though Nan’s biker days were behind her, the look stuck. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I just had to find the courage to tell Nan that. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Besides, if Wynn had made Momma call me back like he said he would, she and Nan wouldn’t be in such a twist. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I wish I’d known she was making something to keep us connected to Nan, to wrap us in her smell and the good memories of our times together in England. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z Although the heights of the Common were filled with men marching, forming columns, and what-not, Johnny believed he could sneak in by the hurdles and let Sandy and Nan graze along the Charles. Johnny Tremain 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z But the only thing in there was a bunch of Nan’s unused yarn, cushioning some commemorative plates. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z As Old Nan told the tale, he'd grabbed the crow in his fist and bitten its head off, so they named him Crowfood. A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z From the look on Nan’s face, Miss Esther wasn’t the only one miffed at being left out. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Let’s fold out one of those maps and consider the possibilities,” Nan said. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z For a moment, it’s summer and I’m back with Nan in her garden. A Place at the Table 2020-08-11T00:00:00Z Despite Nan’s warning, I was excited and nervous, but after fidgeting for over an hour that nervousness developed a sour edge. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Then the Mask’s gauntleted wrist flashes once, leaving a thin red line across Nan’s throat, a line that grows wider and redder as she falls. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z It took every inch of my self-control to keep from laughing, but then Nan looked at me all wide-eyed, and we busted into a fit of giggles. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Holly fanned herself, mouthy Miss Esther had nothing to say for once, and even Nan blushed like a schoolgirl when Brent shook her hand. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan and I didn’t have that much of a spread even on Thanksgiving. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan shut off her phone and smiled at me. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z My mouth waters, and I long for Nan’s food. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z “If he does not breathe ...” Bran found himself remembering the tales Old Nan had told him when he was a babe. A Dance with Dragons 2011-07-12T00:00:00Z The maester had told him the stories, and Old Nan had made them come alive. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z Wynn offered Nan a seat, and I hoped all this princess treatment was softening her opinion of Hope Springs. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan didn’t grimace; she smiled and then changed the topic. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan came and stood behind me, reading over my shoulder. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z He’d stopped what he was doing and was staring at Nan. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan wasn’t hooked up to any of them, but even so, after a while it felt like each beep was talking to me. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Our skin was a little like a paint chip, Nan’s fair and mine just a few shades darker. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "Did I give you leave to question me, Nan?" A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z Nan nodded and patted him on the forearm. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “I personally think no meal’s complete without them,” Nan said. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "The wild is no place for a cripple. And Rickon, young as he is, how long will he last out there? Nan, think how frightened he must be." A Clash of Kings 1998-11-16T00:00:00Z One of Nan’s favorite quotes from that Hemingway guy floated back to me, the inspiration for Relocation Rule Number 17. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Jubi, honey, I’m so glad Nan called. I was just thinking about you.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Other than SmartMart, Nan was my one and only thing that stayed the same. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Our search officially started when I was seven, about two years after I moved in with Nan. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan chose a spot on the ceiling, and Momma gazed off in the direction of the kitchen. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Through the thin walls, I hear Pop's snores, Nan shifting in her sleep, a mourning dove's croon. An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z “A place to sit sounds like heaven,” Nan said. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan caught my eye in the rearview mirror. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan nodded and offered to call the businesses that hadn’t yet agreed to participate in the festival. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan, Wynn, and I wandered around until boats started to come in from the lake and people began to move toward a covered grandstand. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z They were come to the feet of the Misty Mountains, and the long arms of Nan Curunír stretched down to meet them. The Two Towers 1954-11-11T00:00:00Z Old Nan said they had Stark blood in them, going back hundreds of years, but they did not look like Starks to Bran. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z What will the soldiers do to Nan and Pop? An Ember in the Ashes 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z Nan wore makeup, her skinniest, blackest jeans, and her biggest hoop earrings. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan had even gone on a date and afterward, though I suspected she thought about the maps, she didn’t mention them once. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan rarely talked about him, and only if I asked. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Abby sat with Nan at the kitchen table while a lady old enough to be personal friends with Betsy Ross, sewer of the first US flag, hobbled around the kitchen. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Every month, two envelopes arrived: one for Nan and one for me. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z All my crafts, from the large-scale collages hanging on the walls to the decorated toilet paper dispenser, were what Nan called “pack-worthy.” Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan sucked in short breaths, and I noticed her ankle was already puffy, swelling so much the bone hardly seemed to be there at all. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z He didn't want stories and he didn't want Old Nan.

Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z I’d never in my life laid eyes on a real fishing pole, but I’d learned from Nan that, when it came to strangers, less truth meant less trouble. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Nan dialed, and I crossed my arms, held tight, and listened in. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "No! It wasn't like Old Nan's stories.

Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z Wynn and I watched from the window, and Nan looked at us wide-eyed as she struggled to buckle her seat belt. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “I was going to tell you, Nan,” I said. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z “Nan, no one’s as tough as you. Believe me, I know that better than most,” Momma said, and her voice made it clear she didn’t mean it as a compliment.

Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z But when I came out for dinner, Nan looked like herself again, unmussed and dressed to impress in black leggings and a long red shirt with lipstick to match. Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z She remembered Nan telling how the stone had melted and flowed like candlewax down the steps and in the windows, glowing a sullen searing red as it sought out Harren where he hid.

Hope Springs 2021-08-10T00:00:00Z "Crows are .all liars," Old Nan agreed, from the chair where she sat doing her needlework. A Game of Thrones 1997-08-04T00:00:00Z All that was left of her own blood was Hodor, the simpleminded giant who worked in the stables, but Old Nan just lived on and on, doing her needlework and telling her stories.
