"Hi Zeds," said Snail's brother. "Have you heard from our Snail?"

"Nope," I said. "Should I have?"

"I just thought you might have," he said.

"Why - is she away?"

"Yeah. She's back in the rainforest .In Brazil. Worshipping lesser-known gods. With a shaman. For two weeks."

"Oh. So, not at all kooky then?"

"Christ no, not at all."
