So he travelled the world with her, and dined at the Embassies of the world, East and West, in all the capitals of Europe and of Asia. Getting restive finally, however, as the years wore on.

He said if you wish to assure yourself that ê Coronæ is a double star, first direct your telescope to a Geminorum, to z Aquarii, to m Draconis, to r Herculis, to a Piscium, to e Lyræ. Look at those stars for a long time, so as to acquire the habit of observing such objects. Then pass on to x Ursæ majoris, where the closeness of the two members is still greater.
As to the quality of damask, it depends not so much upon weight for the finest cloths are by no means the heaviest as upon the size of the threads and the closeness and firmness with which they are woven.

The little girl touched me, as we drifted away "May you meet the South Wind!" she whispered.

It would be good, Hovan thought, simply to be back in-clan, back in the closeness and peace he valued so highly and there was Ka'ruchaya Yarra's promise.
