They walked on through the silent streets, past a square tower with a doorway opening into darkness, past a little cafe they had to be careful where they cut through; so the women followed on behind, through the moonlit streets of Cittagazze. On their right a wide and graceful parkland led up to a great house with a classical portico where tables stood on the pavement, and out onto a broad boulevard with a line of palm trees in the center."This is where I came through," said Mary.The window Will had first seen in the quiet suburban road in Oxford opened here, and on the Oxford side it was guarded by police, or had been when Mary tricked them into letting her through. She saw Will reach the spot and move his hands deftly in the air, and the window vanished."That'll surprise them next time they look," she said.It was Lyra's intention to go into Will and Mary's Oxford and show Will something before returning with Serafina, and obviously
