Gregory Maguire Quote
You collect a hunderd pennies in one minute by Master’s timepiece and you bought yourself free. Then they shakes a jar of coppers onto the belly of a shovel and holds it over the campfire long time. When they think it fun enough, they say, get yourself ready, and now you go, boy. The pennies go in the dirt around the fire and I got to pick them up and keep hold on them. Oh, said Ada, with a sound like a kind of punch in the air, or out of it. I gets forty-two hot cents before that minute up, he said, holding out his hands again. Here’s the proof. Oh, she said. And no freedom. Nothing next, but that we left, he said. One by one, and not on the same path, turns out. And here you are. And wherever this be, I don’t know. Some mystery or t’other. She lifted her shoulders and dropped them. Well. With me I suppose.
