I stand corrected. I remembered the bit about Laura and Charles sitting
together twisting up stalks for fuel, but somehow got it in my head that it
was corn stalks. I haven't read that book in probably 30 years--it was
depressing, wasn't it?
I really need a new set of those books, though. I loved them.
