«?But that?s not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it.

We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end?»
