"I don't know," he answered.
"This is a star, too, isn't it?" she asked.
"Yes."
"An' shines just like them does?"
"Yes, I think so!"
"That's quare!" She walked on for a few yards without speaking, and her eyes were fixed steadily on the starry fields. "It's funny," she said, "to think mebbe there's people up there lookin' at us an' them mebbe thinkin' about this place what we're thinkin' of them. Wouldn't you love to be able to fly up to one of them an' just see if it's true?..."
He laughed at her and she laughed in response. "I'm talkin' blether," she said, stumbling over a stone in the road.
"Mind!" he warned her, putting out his hand to steady her.
"I was nearly down that time," she said. "These roads is awful in the dark ... you can't see where you're goin' or what's in the way!"
"No," he replied.
