“Possibly you are acquainted with Joiwind there?”
“She’s my sister. I’m on my way to see her now. Why, do you know her?”
“I met her yesterday.”
“What is your name, then?”
“Maskull.”
“I shall tell her I met you. This will be our first meeting for four years. Is she well, and happy?”
“Both, as far as I could judge. You know Panawe?”
“Her husband—yes. But where do you come from? I’ve seen nothing like you before.”
“From another world. Where is Matterplay?”
“It’s the first country one comes to beyond the Sinking Sea.”
