|
Well, she was partly immortal, and that was all there was to it. She could
|
||||||
|
see things that were really there(1) [...]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(1) Which is much harder than seeing things that /aren't/ there. /Everyone/
|
||||||
|
does that.

[...] Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it.

|
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying
|
||||||
|
"End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH," the paint wouldn't even
|
||||||
|
have time to dry.

"But novices aren't allowed in there under pain of death!"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"That's a coincidence," said Lu-Tze, lowering himself to the tips of his
|
||||||
|
fingers. "Because death is what awaits you if you stay out there, too."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
He dropped into the darkness. A moment later there was an unenlightened
|
||||||
|
curse from below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lobsang climbed in, hung by his fingertips, dropped, and rolled when he hit
|
||||||
|
the floor below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Well done," said Lu-Tze in the gloom. "When in doubt, choose to live."

"That must make him very wise."

"Pretty wise, pretty wise. But age and wisdom don't necessarily go
|
||||||
|
together, I've always found," said Lu-Tze, as they approached the abbot's
|
||||||
|
rooms. "Some people just become stupid with more authority. Not his
|
||||||
|
Reverence, of course."

# p. 144 (two instances of singular "Igor" for the person then two plural
|

|
# "Igors" for his clan is accurate)
|

|
%passage 13
|
||||||
|
Igor didn't much like the clock. He was a /people/ person. He preferred
|
||||||
|
things that bled. And as the clock grew, with its shimmering crystal parts
|
||||||
|
that didn't seem entirely all /here/, so Jeremy grew more absorbed and Igor
|
||||||
|
grew more tense. There was definitely something new happening here, and
|
||||||
|
Igors were avid to learn new things. But there were limits. Igors did not
|
||||||
|
believe in "Forbidden Knowledge" and "Things Man Was Not Meant to Know" but
|
||||||
|
obviously there were /some/ things a man was not meant to know, such as
|
||||||
|
what it felt like to have every single particle of your body sucked into a
|
||||||
|
little hole, and that seemed to be one of the options available in the
|
||||||
|
immediate future.

# p. 170 ('spake' is accurate, as is ending the first paragraph with a colon)
|

|
%passage 14
|
||||||
|
/In the Second Scroll of Wen the Eternally Surprised/, a story is written
|
||||||
|
concerning one day when the apprentice Clodpool, in a rebellious mood,
|
||||||
|
approached Wen and spake thusly:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Master, what is the difference between a humanistic, monastic system of
|
||||||
|
belief in which wisdom is sought by means of an apparently nonsensical
|
||||||
|
system of questions and answers, and a lot of mystic gibberish made up on
|
||||||
|
the spur of the moment?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Wen considered this for some time, and at last said: "A fish!"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And Clodpool went away, satisfied.
