OF THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WAS IN THE GLARE OF THE SHIMMERING PARLOUR WINDOW OF LONELY HOUSE AND HE HEARD VOICES THERE PRONOUNCING WORDS AND THE VOICES WERE NO WISE HUMAN AND BUT FOR HIS BITTER NEED HE HAD SCREAMED AND FLED HALFWAY BETWEEN THE VOICES AND MAHARION WHOM HE NOW SAW STANDING OUT FROM THE WORLD COVERED IN RAINBOW HALOS HE PERCEIVED THE WEIRD GRAY BEAST THAT IS NEITHER CAT NOR BIRD AS POMBO HESITATED CHILLY WITH FEAR HE HEARD THOSE VOICES GROW LOUDER IN LONELY HOUSE AND AT THAT HE STEALTHILY MOVED A FEW STEPS LOWER AND THEN RUSHED PAST THE BEAST THE BEAST INTENTLY WATCHED MAHARION HURLING UP BUBBLES THAT ARE EVERY ONE A SEASON OF SPRING IN UNKNOWN CONSTELLATIONS CALLING THE SWALLOWS HOME TO UNIMAGINED FIELDS WATCHED HIM WITHOUT EVEN TURNING TO LOOK AT PAMBO AND SAW HIM DROP INTO THE LINLAND LARNA THE RIVER THAT RISES AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD THE GOLDEN POLLEN THAT SWEETENS THE TIDE OF THE RIVER AND IS CARRIED AWAY FROM THE WORLD TO BE A JOY TO THE STARS
