I daresay I had not been--quite expecting such a curse. [some snipping, a ruffle of fabric] It wasn't quite right--nor wrong--nor truly twixt the two at that...I could--would and have wanted to--nor thought to, or rememory unfaulty and unbroken--..even see their faces. Gone now.

[a clatter--he tries to smile through the words]

..From what I can

Maria feels the same, uuu. School isn't very good, but making new friends was very good, uuu.

Uuu, are you all right?

[10shlling6pence]

Rightish, rebelling, rapscallion reverie, reaming wrongfully--rifting rather roguishly, resisting right--right...

[agoodchild]

Uuu... Maria doesn't think you're all right.

[10shlling6pence]

...I imagine and unimagine you may be right.

[agoodchild]

Uuu, how do you unimagine?

[10shlling6pence]

Easily, at times. Unminding.

[agoodchild]

Uuu, can you un- everything?

[10shlling6pence]

With the--appropriate amount of effort, of course, of course.

[agoodchild]

Mm, it's probably easier to undo things than to do them, uuu.

[10shlling6pence]

When the undoing is undone without knowledge of it's undoneness.

[agoodchild]

Uuu?

Is that the same as not getting caught?

[10shlling6pence]

Not particularly...of being mad without knowing that you just may and entirely be.

[agoodchild]

Uuu! So it's like a secret that you have that you don't know is a secret, uuu!

[10shlling6pence]

Yes...And yes, yes, that's quite it.

[agoodchild]

And you don't even know you have it either, uuu.

[10shlling6pence]

Yes. It's not a well thought.
