\u201cSo you\u2019re going to sort of die?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOh yes.\u201d The cat purred as the fingers tickled it behind the ear. <\/p>\n

The smith looked embarrassed. \u201cWhen?\u201d <\/p>\n

The wizard thought for a moment. \u201cIn about six minutes\u2019 time.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d said the wizard. \u201cI\u2019m quite looking forward to it, to tell you the truth. I\u2019ve heard it\u2019s quite painless.\u201d <\/p>\n

The blacksmith considered this. \u201cWho told you?\u201d he said at last.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the first eight years of her life the world had been a particularly boring place and now that it was becoming interesting Esk wasn\u2019t about to act ungrateful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHow did you do that?\u201d said Esk. <\/p>\n

\u201cAh,\u201d said Granny, \u201cWouldn\u2019t you like to know?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYes. I would. That\u2019s why I asked, Granny,\u201d said Esk, severely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThey say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
