Philip Pullman Quote

Lee saw the fireball and head through the roar in his ears Hester saying, That's the last of 'em Lee.He said, or thought, Those poor men didn't have to come to this, nor did we.She said, We held 'em off. We held out. We're a-helping Lyra.Then she was pressing her little proud broken self against his face, as close as she could get, and then they died.
