2 " Hello there," Inigo hollered when he could wait no more.The man in black glanced up and grunted." I've been watching you." The man in black nodded." Slow going," Inigo said." Look, I don't mean to be rude," the man in black said finally, " but I'm rather busy just now, so try not to distract me." " I'm sorry," Inigo said.The man in black grunted again." I don't suppose you could speed things up," Inigo said." If you want to speed things up so much," the man in black said, clearly quite angry now, " you could lower a rope or a tree branch or find some other helpful thing to do. "
3 " In the woods it was not so much that it was quiet as that the few sounds were loud and distinct, not the orchestra tuning-up of the city but individual grace notes. Birdcalls broken into pieces like a piano exercise, a tree branch snapping sharp and then swishing down and thump on the ground, the hiss of water coming off the mountain. "
