`` i did have a guy friend , '' i snapped , my hair swinging as i dropped the ivy roots and a holly leaf into the mortar and started grinding . his broad shoulders , his whole strong body , was pierced with arrows . his breath came out of his nostrils in fine white ' jets of smoke . she did n't think she could reach it . and i dont want to be any more trouble . we need to go back to the hotel , scale the wall , and steal our car back .
