Thou art a great and strange company. I am Dil. This place is cold, but it shall pass. Art thou spirits and holy men? Some of you seem such, and I am sure you must be.
Hast thou seen Stephen? He is a holy man and he is my friend - he cannot feed himself any better than a bear can, though, and I am certain he has spoiled his shirt. Who raised him to be so helpless I do not know.
Dost thou know the bracelets on the north of the silversmiths’ alley? They are very fine. Very fine! Such light!
