Andrea sat down on the bench nearest to the fountain to watch its ever-changing display of shimmering colours for a while. She found that it was easy to focus on that and to ignore the strange statue from whose orifices the streams of water emerged.
The subliminal sense of wrongness that she had sometimes felt since arriving at Lord Arteth Sugrani's estate was absent here, and she felt relaxed and at peace. She had only intended to watch the fountain for a short time, but there was something mesmerising about it. Before long she found that her eyelids were getting heavy. She thought that the babbling of the water had altered and that it was now whispering to her: "Sleep, Andrea. Go to sleep." It was impossible to resist. Some unknown length of time later she awoke.
