The Importance of Winter

The good doctor had just lost his only daughter and had been stricken with grief. Mr. Sasonman encouraged him to go to the mountains in their stead and to deliver all of Clara's gifts and messages for them. Heidi was thrilled to see the doctor but understandably disappointed not to be receiving Clara and her grandma too.
