"A lot of what?" Tembarom felt as though he would really like to hear. "A lot o' things I want to know about. I wish I'd lived th' life tha's lived, clemmin' or no clemmin'. Tha's seen things goin' on every day o' thy loife." "Well, yes, there's been plenty going on, plenty," Tembarom admitted. "I've been lying here for ten year'," said Tummas, savagely.
