There's a gardener whocomes once a month. ot so much fading as sliding into akind of hibernation, to awaken when it again had a useful task to do. Renie,however, did not particularly want to think about regurgitation at all. But it was alsopossible, and in fact much more likely, that she had simply accessed the wrong data, or misreadsome numbers.

-------------------------The water was full of monsters, huge, thrashing shapes that in her old life, in the real world,Renie could have snatched up with one hand. That's all. Are you easily frightened? He couldn't puzzle out her expression. _ She said it as someone who carries sadnews for which she feels a small responsibility.
