d not imagine my way back. And I met a huge grey shape that was the Spirit of some great people, perhaps of a whole star, and I besought It to show me my way home, and It halted beside me like a sudden wind and pointed, and, speaking quite softly, asked me if I discerned a certain tiny light, and I saw a far star faintly, and then It said to me, 'That is the Solar System,' and strode tremendously on. And somehow I imagined my way back, and only just in time, for my body was already stiffening in a chair in my room; and the fire had gone out and everything was cold, and I had to move each finger one by one, and there were pins and needles in them, and dreadful pains in the nails, which began to thaw; and at last I could move one arm, and reached a bell, and for a long time no one came, because every one was in bed. But at last a man appeared, and they got a doctor; and HE said that it was hashish poisoning, but it would have been all right if I hadn't met that battered, prowling spirit.  BEYOND THE PLEIADES AND I COULD NOT IMAGINE MY WAY BACK AND I MET A HUGE GREY SHAPE THAT WAS THE SPIRIT OF SOME GREAT PEOPLE PERHAPS OF A WHOLE STAR AND I BESOUGHT IT TO SHOW ME MY WAY HOME AND IT HALTED BESIDE ME LIKE A SUDDEN WIND AND POINTED AND SPEAKING QUITE SOFTLY ASKED ME IF I DISCERNED A CERTAIN TINY LIGHT AND I SAW A FAR STAR FAINTLY AND THEN IT SAID TO ME THAT IS THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND STRODE TREMENDOUSLY ON AND SOMEHOW I IMAGINED MY WAY BACK AND ONLY JUST IN TIME FOR MY BODY WAS ALREADY STIFFENING IN A CHAIR IN MY ROOM AND THE FIRE HAD GONE OUT AND EVERYTHING WAS COLD AND I HAD TO MOVE EACH FINGER ONE BY ONE AND THERE WERE PINS AND NEEDLES IN THEM AND DREADFUL PAINS IN THE NAILS WHICH BEGAN TO THAW AND AT LAST I COULD MOVE ONE ARM AND REACH THE BELL AND FOR A LONG TIME NO ONE CAME BECAUSE EVERY ONE WAS IN BED BUT AT LAST A MAN APPEARED AND THEY GOT A DOCTOR AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS HASHISH POISONING BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL RIGHT IF I HADN'T MET THAT BATTERED PROWLING SPIRIT
