WHO IS WE? Owen whispered. THE WAY THEY LOOK AT ME, I KNOW TWO          THINGS. White decided was that Kurd's Church was too gloomy a place for us to start our mornings; he moved our daily assembly to the theater in the Main Academy Building-The Great Hall, it was called. He went home! someone called back.

Then Dan and I were outside in the February cold and gray; the old footprints in the rutted slush were frozen-fossils of the many souls who had traveled to and from Kurd's Church. But Owen hated the spring; the warm weather made him think that school was almost over, and Owen loved school. YES, OF COURSE I KNOW HOW TALL MISTER FISH IS. Harold Crosby shut his eyes, as if he feared Barb Wiggin was going to hit him-or strap him back in the angel-raising apparatus.
