Heh! You'd hope the little mermaid would be able to swim, says one particularly grating and unfriendly voice from the vicinity of Philip's hand. Grout snorts softly. It's been calling Philip that since the trip began, and Grout would love to tell it that he's gotten the joke already, this trite and obvious jest at the expense of Philip's missing voice. What master riddlers the voices think themselves, while they deliver these one-note observations.

Simple logic, my friend. The country here is lush and green, with a healthy ecosystem of rabbits and rats, and apparently no shortage of rain. [ Though the less said about THAT, the better. He's still knocking mud out of his nice period-appropriate boots. ] And what are the veins of the natural world if not the waterways? We are going to hit upon a river or lake before this event is through, you mark my words. With luck our path will run parallel to it and it will prove a companion rather than a foe in our way, but my impression of events is that they rarely afford us luck, is that right?
