There were long, lazy conversations that began nowhere and ended nowhere  the wonderful kind in which you say whatever comes to your head without fear of being misunderstood, because what you say has little importance anyway.

e said. No one doubted him. [Illustration] 9: _In Which David and the Phoenix Call On a Faun, and a Lovely Afternoon Comes to a Strange End_ [Illustration] The Phoenix was dead tired. And no wonder--all in one week it had escaped from Gryffons, raced with a Witch, made round-trip flights to the Pacific Isles and Ireland, been caught in a snare, got burned by a short circuit, and been knocked down by an exploding cigar. Even a bird as strong as the Phoenix cannot do all these things without needing a rest. So the traveling part of David's education was stopped for a while to let the Phoenix recover. The days went by pleasantly on the ledge. Summer was at its height. The sun fell on them with just the right amount of warmth as they lolled on the grass. The air was filled with a lazy murmuring. "Listen," the murmuring seemed to say, "don't talk, don't think--close your eyes and listen." Below them, the whole valley danced and wavered in the heat waves, so that it seemed to be under water.
