“And how long does it take to really know someone?” “Well, Harry, it doesn’t necessarily take very long to get to know the beaten tracks through the big, dark forest. Some people have fine, straight paths and streetlamps and road signs. They seem to tell you everything. But that’s where you should be careful you don’t take anything for granted. Because you don’t find the forest’s animals on illuminated paths, you find them in the bushes and the scrub.” “And how long does it take to know them?” “Depends on who’s there. And the forest. Some forests are darker than others.”
