‘So how did Ralph die?’

‘You saw what happened to me. Suppose Rumon saw a rabbit when Ralph was halfway over the bridge? He is a clumsy, lumbering monster, so, as he passed over the bridge, he clipped Ralph’s legs just as he did mine, and Ralph toppled headfirst into the stream. He struck his head and was dazed, so when his head went under the water, he couldn’t save himself. That was that.’

‘Dying here all alone.’

‘Aye, with his killer: the only creature in the world who loved him without reservation.’
