"Listen, Granule, about what daddy said. Is it true?" "Mummy said he was joking." "I think it's true." "Really?" "I think so." "D'you mean mummy's a liar?" Mandolyn was thoughtful. Granule's eyes were fixed on her face. He loved her face. It was so… he didn't know the word… it kept changing… unlike his own, which was always the same.
