(i) Eric and Falkayn, pp. 280-283.
(ii) Van Rijn and Sandra, pp. 283-288.
(iii) Adzel and Chee Lan, 288-291.
(i) Cool air, fragrance, river sound, whisky:
"...a taste of peat smoke from the birthworld of their race." (p. 280)
"Birthworld" is an Anderson coinage.
Eric will be Hermetian special envoy to the Solar Commonwealth. Falkayn will run SSL in van Rijn's absence, then "'...look for a place to begin afresh.'" (p. 282)
"'The wound to the old order of things is too deep...'" (ibid.)
See here.
To be continued.
