I got my brother and Roland back from the Queen of the Fairies. And I danced with the wintersmith, who turned me into ten billion snowflakes. No, I don't want to be in a cottage in these damp woods; I don't want to be a kind of slave to people who can't be bothered to think for themselves; I don't want to wear midnight and make people afraid of me. There is no name for what I want to be. But I was old enough to do all those things, and I was acceptable.
But she said: 'I don't know what this is about!'
