Well-done vignette. Very atmospheric.

Loved this bit of description:

The trees on this eastern slope were thick but bare of low limbs, standing still as cool meditating monks. Their trunks turning gray in the dim light. A sheet of old snow clung to the ground. At the bottom of the descent was an ancient causeway: a flat, dry-grass avenue running right and left. The two men stopped not on the road, but stayed within the margin of the trees above it.
