" "Uma menininha de cabelo ruivo corre até a mesa da entrada, rindo e quase se sufocando com um emaranhado de fios verdes.
Um belo cachecol? Ela sorri, saltitante. — Olá — digo. — Posso-te perguntar uma coisa? — Ela ri e balança a cabeça. — Como farias para encontrar uma agulha num palheiro?
A menina para, pensativa, puxando o fio verde em torno do pescoço. Na realidade, ela está a pensar sobre o problema. Pequenas engrenagens estão funcionando. Ela retorce os dedinhos juntos, refletindo. É muito fofa. Por fim, ela olha para mim e diz com seriedade. — Eu pediria à palha para encontrar a agulha. — Então, emite um guincho fantasmagórico baixo e sai pulando em um pé só.
Um gongo antigo da dinastia Song ribomba na minha cabeça. Sim, claro. Ela é um génio!

Is it an eggageration to say Clement Soup and Sourdough saved me? At night, instead of fitfully reviewing the day's error while my stomach swam and churned, I... fell asleep. My course steadied. I had taken on ballast in the form of spicy broth and fragrant bread and, maybe, two new friends, or sort-of-friends, or something.
I'd sit at my kitchen table and start scanning help-wanted ads on my laptop, but then a browser tab would blink and I'd get distracted and follow a link to a long magazine article about genetically modified wine grapes. Too long, actually, so I'd add it to my reading list. Then I'd follow another link to a book review. I'd add the review to my reading list, too, then download the first chapter of the book — third in a series about vampire police. Then, help-wanted ads forgotten, I'd retreat to the living room, put my laptop on my belly, and read all day. I had a lot of free time.
Corvina’s got it wrong. Penumbra’s schemes didn’t fail because he’s a hopeless crackpot. If Corvina’s right, it means nobody should ever try anything new and risky. Maybe Penumbra’s schemes failed because he didn’t have enough help. Maybe he didn’t have a Mat or a Neel, an Ashley or a Kat — until now.
