" "Glossie looked around at the houses. The snow was quite deep in that village, and just before them was a roof only a few feet above the sledge. A broad chimney, which seemed to Glossie big enough to admit Claus, was at the peak of the roof. “Why don’t you climb down that chimney?” asked Glossie. Claus looked at it. “That would be easy enough if I were on top of the roof,” he answered. “Then hold fast and we will take you there,” said the deer, and they gave one bound to the roof and landed beside the big chimney. “Good!” cried Claus, well pleased, and he slung the pack of toys over his shoulder and got into the chimney.

But I'll not have any cruel deeds on my conscience to be sorry for.
