“Mama always said there's an awful lot you can tell about a person by their shoes. Where they're going, where they've been. I've worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard, I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they'd take me anywhere. She said they was my magic shoes."...

"Where do we begin?"
"Never thought about it. Perhaps, at the beginning?"
"Where is that?"
"The point from where we start."
