"John Rowlands came to Milliways Wednesday last, and did not return home for two days. I discovered that he had been here, with her, all of that time, and that the White Rider had told him several things that were not true about herself, me, and you. I do not know everything she said, but she did say to him, in my presence, something like, 'It is as I told you! The dewin has tricked him.'
"With the help of the harp I restored John's memories, so that he could recall the truth. I believe I also said some unpleasant, although quite true, things about the Dark. I did not touch the White Rider with power, and I would do everything that I did again, if asked."
