and the incomparable Piccolo Pupa.
It is time, he tells himself. He sits in his favorite chair. We hear breathing emanating from the Leviathan box, and see flames, then the altar in the woods. Barnabas is there, making hands gestures, calling to Oberon, who appears, calling him Master. Barnabas is in need of his guidance, tell him, man of earth, how he will know the chosen ones--tell him so he will make no mistake in this most important moment in time. One will wear the sign of the Naga, says Oberon, and they will come to you--you will hear a knocking at your door, will wake you from your sleep, when you open the door, they will be strangers, but you will know them.And I will know to trust them, to lead them through the mysteries that will make them respond, and do what they must do if all is to go as it must. Oberon tells him he will know the sign of the Naga, the sudden knocking at the door.[/spoiler]
As Sandor works on forgery practice, he finds Barnabas standing over him, greeting him good evening. Sandor isn't happy at being caught, and tells Barnabas he's working on an old gypsy game. Sandor crumples it up and is about to toss it into the fire, but Barnabas grabs it before he can do so, opens it, reads. "Seems to be worth your time, or worth it to someone," comments Barn shrewdly. Sandor says I couldn't help it, it just happened--I can get out of it, forget it--"You forget it, I forget it," says Sandor. As simple as that, says Barnabas, but the people who hired you won't let you forget it. Sandor says I don't know what to do, I don't want anymore trouble in my life. Barnabas says he can imagine what happens to someone who forges wills. . .Sandor doesn't want to be turned over to the authorities and go to jail. Sandor covers his face and seems to cry, sobbing, "And bring disgrace on my family!" We mustn't have that, says Barnabas soothingly (and humorously, this scene was pretty funny, and Barn is grinning) Barnabas agrees to keep the authorities out of it, and admires what a talented fellow Sandor is--you just need "guidance" for your pen.[/spoiler]
