Eksempel:	I managed to rent the same cabin…
	I manage to rent the same cabin…

I managed to rent the same cabin, the one with its wraparound deck open to the woods and stars. We crunched down the steep gravel drive, chasing the shadows of trees. Robin bolted from the car and took the front steps two at a time. I followed, with the bags. Inside, all the light switches still bore their labels − Hallway, Porch, Kitchen, Overhead − and the cabinets were still covered in the same color-coded instructions. Robin tore into the living room and flung himself onto the couch […]. Three minutes later he fell asleep. His breathing was so peaceful I left him there to sleep through the night. He woke only when dawn poured in. That morning we hit the trails. I found a climb not far inside the boundary of the park that faced the southern sun while backing onto a damp ledge. Every twenty yards we came across another wet outcrop packed with more species […]. Robin clutched his list. He was finding new flowers left and right. […] He drew a clumsy little clump of rue anemone1. He went on to find, then worry over, both true and false Solomon’s seal2. Then he drew those, too. Only drawing gave him a little peace. With a sharp pencil in his hand and a log to sit on, he was still okay. Richard Powers, Bewilderment, 2021 1 rue anemone: hvid anemone 2 Solomon’s seal: storkonval (vild, giftig urt)
