“Ah, I thought, feeling the first brush of tingling warmth as we fell into the unknown. Magic.”
“I remember that feeling of skin. It'sstrange to remember touch more than thought. But my fingersstill tingle with it.”
“You must be all a-tingle with excitement.''I guess so,' I said, but I did not feel a-tingle. I did not feel a-anything.”
“Anticipation tingled in my stomach: the kind of tingle that at first you don’t know if it’s a good tingle or a bad tingle – just a tingle.”

“There will be no magic, whatsoever. Magic is either a poverty-stricken necessity or a wealthy fantasy. We are in neither of those straits, and what cannot be explained will be left unknown.”
