  "'Nothing to do with your actual Appearance,' Dixon
said, 'but all of thee have such a familiar look,-- up
above, we hear many Tales of Gnomes, Elves, smaller
folk, who live underground and possess what are, to
huz, magickal Powers?  Who've min'd their ways to the
borders of our world, following streams, spying upon
us from the Fells when the light of the Day's tricky
enough....  Is this where they come from, then?'"
(M&D, Ch. 75, p. 740)

"'Tho' Light through the Polar Openings north and
south varied as the Earth traveled in its orbit, 'twas
never more than low and diffuse, hence the enlraged
eyes of these inner-surface dwellers, their pale skins
....'" (M&D, Ch. 75, p. 741)

"'They ask'd if I'd take off as much of my Clothing as
I'd feel comfortable with,-- I stepp'd out of my
Shoes, left my Hat on...?  They walk'd 'round me in
Circles, now and then poking at me..?  Nothing too
intrusive.'
   "'Nothing you remember, anyway,' Mason can't help
putting in.'" (M&D, Ch. 75, p. 742)
