But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in a way an old friend will settle in your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since he last saw you.

One can’t help but admire the way that King, in just a couple of sentences, has you primed, leaning forward, almost holding your breath, waiting to hear the story!
