What manner of place would he find what manner of place did he desire to find? It was here that the real interest of the situation culminated. At least, so Aynesworth thought then.
"You remember, too, how we explained the growing altitude of the sun in the heavens which culminated on the great day of the Festival, by supposing that the axis of the planet swayed to and from the sun so as to tilt each pole towards the sun, and the other from it, alternately, thus producing what by courtesy we may call the seasons in Womla?"

The shouting and swearing went reeling away towards the water's edge, and then, all of a sudden, they culminated in a fearful yell after which came silence. What could it mean? wondered Augusta and whilst she was still wondering dropped off to sleep again. Augusta woke up just as the dawn was stealing across the sodden sky.
