Some papers that he’d been holding slid through his hands and fell before Andrew’s feet. He bent and picked them up. As he struggled to straighten up, he groaned, got closer to Andrew and whispered hastily in his ear:“What’s your friend doing over there? She must’ve lost her way. That’s not the way to the river.” The man suddenly seemed nervous. “They don’t let the audience approach that side of the city. But I’ve heard that there are snipers over there. You can never tell whether everything you hear about this place is true or not. Perhaps it’s just rumours. But it’d be better if you left there quickly.”
