"It's a long story," Belinda began. "I was riding Silver..." At that
point, both the
listening Astras broke in, one saying "But your horse's name is Rowan,"
and the other
saying "But you've never learnt to ride." "I imagine the alternate
universes will not
be absolutely identical," said one of the Freds with a wry smile. The
Astras promised
not to interrupt again, and Belinda resumed:
I was riding Silver along one of the forest paths just a couple of miles from the palace. He stumbled over a tree-root, and I got thrown out of the saddle. I hit my head hard on landing and lost consciousness. I don't know how long I was out for, but I came around with a splitting headache to find that it was beginning to get dark and there was no sign of Silver. I wasn't too worried, though, either for myself or for Silver. As I said, I wasn't very far from home, and with any luck Silver would find his way back to his stable.
