Brother Meriet. Have you knowledge of such a man lost hereabouts?' Meriet continued to stare down at the silent relics that had been a man. His eyes were huge.

For the first time in the trilogy I had stepped fully away from Thomas Covenant (or any direct link to the 'real' world). And that proved to be a mistake. It was crucial to the presentation of Covenant's character that he had some good reasons for doubting the substantial 'reality' of the Land. But all his reasons were undercut when I employed someone like Korik - a character with no.

Obstinately riveted until a new figure entered view from the left. Shorter slimmer than the others this one strode with a springy elfin gait clothed in the tunic and leggings of a hunter. The newcomer carried a bundle of slender wooden saplings the right size for fashioning spears. Only when these were dumped with a clatter did I note with surprise that this hunter was female. "Ho Chief " she greeted me acknowledging Long Stick with a nod. My companion leaned over and muttered "This is Ankle-of-a-Giraffe daughter of Antler and Pear Blossom. She is one of the beaters in the hunt. " "That's what I want to talk to you about " the young stone-ager said planting fists on her hips. She was lithe and a trifle lean for my tastes -- as well as being smudged from head to toe-- but she made eye.
