... Do ... not ... angry ... came the words.

"We're not angry," Geo said. "What are you doing?"

I ... thinking ... were the words that seemed to generate from the boy now.

"What sort of a way to think is that if everyone can hear it?" demanded Urson.

Snake tried to explain. Not ... everyone ... Just ... you ... You ... think ... I ... hear ... came the sound again. I ... think ... You ... hear.

"I know we hear," Urson said. "It's just like you were talking."

"That's not what he means," Geo said. "He means he hears what we think just like we hear him. Is that right, Snake?"

When ... you ... think ... loud ... I ... hear.

"I may just have been doing some pretty loud thinking," Urson said. "And if I thought something I wasn't supposed to, well, I apologize."

Snake didn't seem interested in the apology, but asked again, You ... help ... me ... together.
