“Some of our thoughts are worth nothing, because they've got no soul in them. The brain puts them into the mind, not the mind into the brain.”
“But how can you know about that, North Wind? You haven't got a body.”
“If I hadn't you wouldn't know anything about me. No creature can know another without the help of a body. But I don't care to talk about that. It is time for you to go home.”
So saying, North Wind lifted Diamond and bore him away.
CHAPTER XXXVIII. AT THE BACK OF THE NORTH WIND
I DID not see Diamond for a week or so after this, and then he told me what I have now told you.”
