Lyra got up and felt her way to the door.

No one but you two must know Lyra is here.

And Lyra began to talk about the world she knew.

Go and see if you can find where Lyra's gone.

They were the first people he had ever seen in Lyra's world.

Lyra has a part to play in all this, and a major one.

Lyra tried some of everything, but like Will she soon found that a little was quite enough.

But Lyra could give her no help, perhaps not even understanding.

They ran off to do as she said, and then Lyra turned back to the door.

Will got in first, and then Lyra came forward to step down, too.

Lyra came to talk to her when she returned to the King's house.

But before they left, Lyra looked up at the tower.

Lyra didn't want to look, but Will went to see if the man was still alive and needed help.

Now that Lyra had a task in mind, she felt much better.

"I want to come north," Lyra said so they could all hear it.

Lyra turned that over in her mind as they drove on.

Lyra did so, and handed the big black book to her father.

And Lyra couldn't touch them, no matter how she tried.

Was it possible that no weapons worked here on Lyra?

Lyra sat down carefully, and heard the door close itself.

I think it was a mistake when she hit Lyra.

Maybe the people in Lyra's world are the only living beings to know they have.

But it didn't seem to Lyra that she would ever grow up.

There was nothing to stop Lyra from going in except her own fear.

Lyra wasn't sure what he meant, but she didn't want to press him.
