Can you tell me what happened earlier this evening?” But how are you going to test the truth of that claim?” “You want another reference? I’m the father of that baby in the priory.” ‘Lyra’s father is here, he’s being pursued by his enemies. “Because if she had, I’d know it was true.”Īsriel gave a short laugh. Er-she hasn’t told me about you,” Malcolm said. “Is your name Malcolm?” The man’s voice was harsh and deep. Would you like me to make up the fire? It’s ever so cold in here.” Perhaps it was his dæmon, a beautiful silvery spotted leopard, or perhaps it was his dark, saturnine expression in any event, Malcolm felt daunted, and very young and small. The gentleman waiting gave him a start, though all he was doing was sitting still by the cold fireplace. But he ruffled Malcolm’s hair before they entered the bar. “I always do,” said Malcolm automatically. He’ll tell you who he is if he wants to.” “Who is it?” said Malcolm eagerly, jumping up and following his father out.
