The two girls disappeared into the stern cabin once more. Will watched them go, then asked Halt, ‘Anything you’d like me to do? Grow a beard? Learn to walk like a rooster?”If you could stop asking facetious questions, that’d be a start,’ Halt told him. ‘But it’s probably a little late in life for you to do that.

How do we get there? How did you get here, by the way?’ [Will asked].He heard Halt’s deep sigh and knew he’d done it again.’Do you ever,’ the older Ranger said with great deliberation, ‘manage to ask just one question at a time? Or does it always have to be multiple choice with you?’Will looked at him in surprise. ‘Do I do that?’ he asked. ‘Are you sure?’Halt said nothing. He raised his hands in a ‘See what I mean?’ gesture…’Halt,’ [Selethen said], ‘I could be wrong, but I think you were just guilty of the same fault. I’m sure I heard you ask two questions just then.”Thank you for pointing that out, Lord Selethen,’ Halt said with icy formality.
