In which Cimorene and Kazul are surprised by a young girl, a very large cat, and a blind man (who happens to be rather young himself) and many things happen as a result
(part 7)
"So Antorell, you wouldn't happen to know how to get to a witch named Morwen's house, would you?" Karal asked the wizard.
"Oh I wouldn't want to be going there. I don't know what witches are like on your world, but ours are mean and deceptive. They'll tell you anything if they think they'll get something out of it."
"Really?" Karal arched an eyebrow. Antorell nodded. "Well thank-you for warning me."
"No problem. So where are you going to go?"
"Oh I think I just might wander around for a while. I have some friends who came here with me that I really ought to find."
"Certainly. I hope we meet again, Karal."
"You would." Karal mumbled as Antorell vanished into the forest.

"Mirror, Mirror, on the wall. Fiddle-dee and folderall!" Morwen said in an overly dignified tone. Daine stifled another giggle. Morwen glared at her as the mirror's surface turned a milky white and a voice demanded "What is it now! You and your vague rhymes!" Daine got the distinct impression that the owner of the voice was tapping her foot. "It's very difficult to think of something that rhymes with 'wall' for every occasion, you know! Now, I want you to locate a young boy named Karal who's lost in the forest."
"There are tons of young boys lost in this forest! How do expect me to know which one's this Karal? You want me to stop and ask every one of them?!"
"He's probably the only one who's blind." Morwen said, perhaps a bit impatiently.
"Oh. I'll get right on it!" The milky white became a rainbow of colors as the mirror scanned the forest for Karal. It was over very quickly.
"Nope!" "What do you mean, 'nope'?!" Altra interjected before Morwen had a chance to say a word. "He's not here. No young blind men. Only one old stinky one with a cape made entirely of patches. He was actually kind of interesting. I stopped to talk to him, he hasn't stumbled upon your Karal either."
