[…] pulling butterflies out of the air and cramming them into her ears to block the din, […] […] sculpture of His Amused Lordship leans against a tree[…] |
| The Honey-Addled Detective | Dreams: The Investigative Dream of the Honey-Addled Detective | The Detective's body is elsewhere – back in a flat in Moloch Street, most likely. But his mind is here, as present in Parabola as any dream-shade. He is kneeling on the jungle floor, measuring the pawprint of a panther. |
| The Captivating Princess | Dreams: The Captivating Princess' Dream-Garden | This place is a garden enclosed in glass; […] In it, the Princess dreams of growing her favourite fruit: sycophants, hangers-on, admirers, paramours, rivals. […] All around her, the courtiers stand in neat rows, buried up to their ankles in soil. […] |
