She could not, however, spend much time looking back; what was coming into view in the forward direction was too exciting. The road had apparently now reached the top of the hill and ran straight forward. Little specks were moving to and fro on it. And now something most wonderful, fortunately in full sunlight - or as full as it can be when it falls through fathoms of water - flashed into sight. It was knobbly and jagged and of a pearly, or perhaps an ivory, colour. She was so nearly straight above it that at first she could hardly make out what it was. But everything became plain when she noticed its shadow.

然而她并不能花太多时间回头看，因为接下来他们将看到的东西实在是令人激动异常。道路明显已经抵达了小山顶部，并且一往直前。微小的颗粒在山顶上来回飘荡。现在很幸运，在充足的阳光中最美妙的事物闯入了视野，或者有可供它向下冲击通过的长长的充足的水幕也行。它是节一节的，呈锯齿状，颜色近似珍珠或者象牙。她几乎是垂直于它的上面，以至于在第一眼她没能分辨出它是什么。但是所有的一切都变得平平无奇，当她注意到它的影子。
