"Strickland knew who Wilghe was the moment he emerged from the trunk of the old willow tree, near-naked, white-skinned and twined about with greenly shining ivy. Wilghe stood on the dappled bank above the creek, gripping the dark earth with his toes, and smiling. His skin seemed like bark at times, but wasn't - there was no telling his age. He could have been twenty or two hundred or two thousand. Strickland smiled and offered him a cup of water from the fountain. Wilghe drank. Rainbow droplets clung to his bronze-colored beard. Strickland drew a deep breath and sighed 'Hello, my love.'

 'Hello to you, Alor.' Wilghe murmured. His voice was barely distinguishable from the April wind coming down the wooded slope, and his blue-gray eyes were amused and knowing slits. 'Have you been waiting a long time?'"
