Quote:

Another snowman loomed up in front of them. In a postman’s cap, with a mail-bag slung over its shoulder. It was larger and looser thing than the others, more hastily-made, with no face coals or carrot. They barrelled into the shape, which came apart, and sprawled in a tangle on the cold, cold ground – Richard felt the bite of black ice through his gauntlets as the heel of his hand jammed against grit. Under him was a dead but loose-limbed postman, grey-blue in the face, crackly frost in his hair. He had been inside the snowman.
