He looks at the hoof, and smiles. He shakes his hoof.

Frizzle’s shake is at once encompassing yet weak, and he moves his foreleg rather far up and down. He doesn’t last long in the shake before breaking it to put his hoof down, and shift weight to that leg.

He smiles back, albeit a little labored.

“It was. We came down here as a little trip while my dad was doing something in the city. I think it had something to do with the Union. And we had a picnic. My father joined later. I remember the wind was kind of cold and my little sister wanted a candy, but we didn’t have any and that annoyed my mom. My dad mentioned the thing about the Pirates while he was talking to my my brother. I thought it was neat.”

He blushes, and his ears go down. He doesn’t move his forelegs, but sits there with a smile that seems almost embarrassed, but at least is genuine.

“Thank you… I… wanted to create new memories.”

The waitress comes with the drinks. Hot chocolate for Amber

Also, I can't recommend enough reading Mine Were of Trouble by Peter Kemp. Not only is it a detailed and engaging account of the Spanish Civil War from the Nationalist side, but it shows a window of life in that tumultuous time and is well-written.

“Your mom would make peach cobbler?!” He sounds kind of surprised.

“The best we got was apple pie. There was a friend though who had tangerine trees. I loved to pick those, and eat them.”

>>154277
Neat! I’ve read the fictional “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia,” but nothing on the Nationalist side.

It also explains how the Republicans had the advantage in propaganda which sadly affects public perception of the war even up to now.

"It's about what you have around. I remember we used to have a lot more fruits and vegetables brought in by rail.
Sadly that stopped with the war...
