“The weather was at war with itself, on one side the prevailing clouds and on the other the glimmer of sunlight, the lunar noon slinking in between the two, the sliver of the old moon cradling the new, the eternal story of sun and moon communicating their conflict across the sky.”

“Life happened to most people, but Myndil Plodostirr happened to everybody else.
Where other children had grown up with the usual complaints of niggling mothers, wholesome dinners, and work to be done after daily lessons, Myndil was the disposition to like everything and a capacity to like everone. His mother had died young, and though little was known of Myndil’s father, it was certain that he had one: someone had to bring him to the orphanage. All that was known of the Plodostirr parents was that one of them must have been good natured, and the other must have been very quiet, for Myndil had inherited all the friendliness and anxious curiosity from one side of the family, and had been passed over by all the tranquility of the other.”
