myself, when the heather moon vanished behind a mountain
or into the sea, in what secret place she lurked while she hid from the
world? Now I know that the purple island of Dhrum is her fastness, and
that because she loved us she brought us safely here, together.

I wonder sometimes if Basil will ever write his romance of our
journeyings and adventures under the heather moon--months or years from
now, when he has forgotten to be sad, and is only pleasantly romantic,
as when I knew him first? Ian says he will never write it, because if he
did, he would have to be the villain; and no man ever yet made himself
the villain of his own book. Perhaps that is true. But I do not think
there ought to be a real villain in a story about a rainbow key and a
heather moon.
