I do believe it's got no nameāwhy, to be sure it hasn't!ā
She stood silent for a minute, thinking: then she suddenly began again. āThen it really HAS happened, after all! And now, who am I? I WILL remember, if I can! I'm determined to do it!ā But being determined didn't help much, and all she could say, after a great deal of puzzling, was, āL, I KNOW it begins with L!ā
