<p>There was a room, there ahead of him. He could see the light spilling into the comparatively dim hallway. Sunlight, cool and bright. He could see that the left-hand wall of the hallway continued. A corner, then, the hallway dumping him out into the southeast corner of the room.</p>
<p>Southeast&hellip;how did he know that?</p>
<p>There on that wall, shadows played. Shadows of leaves, the arc of a fountain.</p>
