    Summary

    The hoopoe flew far beneath them, a mere speck of rust with its handsome black bars, no larger than a beetle; and then he saw it was quite close and truly was no larger than a beetle, its whole wingspan eclipsed by the length of his thumb alone. He caught it gently in his cupped hands, as if a butterfly, and very cautiously opened a gap between his fingers for its tiny head to poke out, the size of a grain of rice. "Sure even the least of all weevils will be too large for you, my friend," Stephen told it, and having nothing else to offer he released it; it was visible for only a breath, then disappeared, too small to see at any distance.

    Summary

    Jack did not forget what he had meant to say. But he felt the words were suddenly quite a long way off, minuscule white sails disappearing fast over the horizon, while creeping up on his lee was a great hot dark storm.

    Stephen is full of surprises.
