Fondrie (not sure if that is name or e-mail) you have pinpointed one of my personal favorite moments in the book -- a picture may say a thousand words but that moment said it all!

Mr. Tingle:One of my favorite moments in the story (besides the "snowmonster" scene) is when Old Man is assigning duties at the new site in the swamp:
"Young women will look for wild onions and berries. Older men will build houses, lean-tos. Winter is coming. We will spend the day working and have our first meal tonight."
"What will the older women do?" a young man asked. Everyone grew very quiet. No one looked at him. They were too embarrassed. Old Man smiled.
"The older women do not need me to tell them what to do," he said. (p. 20) I appreciate how you convey that very awkward moment (which we've probably all experienced at least once in our lifetimes) in just a few brief lines, not to mention how you express the status of the older women without saying anything at all. Can you tell us a little about matriarchal and patriarchal roles at that time? I was surprised that the young man wouldn't have been aware of that already.
