donтАЩt want to take the chance of altering his perception of his Ordeal, maybe even making him think
youтАЩre supposed to be involved in it somehow. But if you can come by any sense of why his OrdealтАЩs
taking him so long, IтАЩd be glad to hear it.тАЭ

Carl straightened up. тАЬOkay,тАЭ he said. The strip lights under the cupboards were now actually on. He
looked at the light they cast on the counter with some satisfaction. тАЬAt least now IтАЩm going to be able to
see what IтАЩm cooking without getting blinded.тАЭ He went over to the wall, turned the dimmer switch.

Clunk!

тАЬI could stop by the supermarket on the way home and get you some candles,тАЭ Kit said as he got up.
тАЬFire still works.тАЭ

 Duane, Diane - Young Wizards 06 - A Wizard Alone


тАЬVery funny,тАЭ Carl said. тАЬI hope that someday, when duct tape is sticking to your gray hairsтАФтАЭ

тАЬKit,тАЭ Tom said, тАЬignore the whimpering from the sidelines for the momentтАж Be careful not to get
sucked in. This youngster may seem very, very stuck when you meet him, and youтАЩve got to resist the
temptation to give him help he doesnтАЩt need. You could end up endangering yourself, not to mention
altering the focus of his OrdealтАж which could make him fail it. Or worse.тАЭ

тАЬIтАЩll watch out.тАЭ

тАЬOkay. Go see what you can find out. You may want to leave your manual on record when youтАЩre
talking to him; it may pick up some nuance that you miss at first.тАЭ He paused. тАЬListen to that,тАЭ he said.

Kit listened, puzzled. тАЬI donтАЩt hear anything.тАЭ

тАЬWhat the master of sarcasm over there means is that the dogs have stopped barking,тАЭ Carl said.
тАЬTheyтАЩve been having some kind of metaphysical discussion for days now. And theyтАЩre loud about it.тАЭ

тАЬHave they been asking you about the meaning of life?тАЭ Kit said.

Both Tom and Carl gave Kit a look. тАЬUh, yes,тАЭ Tom said.

Kit covered his face. тАЬItтАЩs my fault,тАЭ he said. тАЬA new kind of blackmail, and I know where they got it.
They probably want dog biscuits.тАЭ

тАЬNew tactic,тАЭ Tom said wearily, getting up. тАЬOld problem. IтАЩll bear it in mind.тАЭ

Ponch came lolloping back into the dining room. Kit got up, too. тАЬIтАЩll get in touch as soon as I find
anything out,тАЭ Kit said, opening the patio door to let Ponch out.

тАЬThanks, fella,тАЭ Tom said. тАЬDai stiho.тАЭ

тАЬYeah, you go well, too. Well enough not to electrocute somebody, anyway!тАЭ
