on christmas eve, as I walked home with a trolley full of goodies from the market, I walked through the Paddock, and a man came running from behind, and overtook me: I saw he was skipping ________ with every third step, or leaping if you will, he was in so very great a hurry. and he was wearing dress slacks and a shirt. It just looked so very amusing; did he realise? I was delighted.
