It's scary, because the water horses eat meat and are predatory.<br /><br />I started re-reading this morning because I was still so captured (one thing bothered me, too, that Puck's age isn't easy to sort, but I forgot that in the glory of this story) Here's another snippet from Sean trying out a particularly wild water horse:<br />"She is down the beach like an osprey diving for a fish. Breathlessly fast. And always, always conscious of the water angling toward the sea. And again, that sinuous, slippery movement. She seems far less horse than sea creature to me, even now, even in the deep of October, even on dry land. Even with me whispering in her ear."Tricia J.
