Limbo Lodge (2010)
““How very lucky we were to have that interval of sunshine,” said Herodsfoot happily.
He seemed unaware of any atmosphere, other than the mist. But Dido, walking between Yorka and Talisman, noticed Yorka give a quick, glancing look upwards at the doctor; Talisman’s face remained completely blank.
“Yes; that was a piece of luck,” she said after a moment.
“I suppose,” Herodsfoot teased her, “now that my name is written up on that rockface in your handwriting, you’d say that put me in your power?”
...“Would I say so?”
“Because of your being a Kanikke. And that being such a sacred place.”
“Are you trying to make fun of the things the Forest People believe? I thought you sympathised with the Forest People? And understood their beliefs?”
“I do understand them. And I go halfway – well, one-third of the way – to sharing some of their beliefs. Isn’t that enough? Nobody can share all of anybody else’s beliefs. I know that one must be respectful; and on no account must one make fun of them.MoreLess
