Then we rounded back on our way to the Arrow head ranch house.

It is only after four hundred words more of this sort of analysis that the author tells us: "It was Tom's step, then, that Maggie heard on the stairs."

Each slip was roughly three inches wide and ten long and into the text had been inserted lean diagrammatic paintings either portraying Mahavira, the founder of the cult, or illustrating episodes in his earthly career. About 1400, palm-leaf was superseded by paper and from then onwards manuscripts were given slightly larger pages.
