Podcast appearances and mentions of mary malone

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 17, 2024 is: blarney • BLAR-nee • noun Blarney refers to false but charming talk that often flatters the listener. // The bartender laughingly asked her gregarious patron if anyone ever believed his blarney. See the entry > Examples: “Some tales are mundane, like the song about Molly Malone: ‘In Dublin fair city, the girls are so pretty …' Did such a woman ever exist? There's a record of a Mary Malone who lived (and died) in the 17th century. She was likely both a fishmonger and a lady of the night. … Some tales are blarney. Blarney Castle dates to 1446, and there's a slab of carboniferous limestone near the top. It's said to be the stone used by Jacob as a pillow when he dreamt of a ladder to heaven. Others say Clíodhna, Queen of the Banshees, told Cormac Laidir MacCarthy to kiss the stone so he would be eloquent when defending his home in the court of Queen Elizabeth.” — Kevin Fisher-Paulson, The San Francisco Chronicle, 28 Mar. 2023 Did you know? The village of Blarney in County Cork, Ireland, is home to Blarney Castle, and in the southern wall of that edifice lies the famous Blarney Stone. Legend has it that anyone who kisses the Blarney Stone will gain the gift of skillful flattery, but that gift must be attained at the price of some limber maneuvering—you have to lie down and hang your head over a precipice to reach and kiss the stone. One story claims the word blarney gained popularity as a word for “flattery” after Queen Elizabeth I of England used it to describe the flowery (but apparently less than honest) cajolery of McCarthy Mor, who was then the lord of Blarney Castle.

Marisa Coulter sabe más idiomas que los vendedores del soho. Tenemos nuevo inquisidor melofo y nuevos personajes creepys. Atención que comentamos los dos primeros episodios de la tercera temporada, somos más pesados que Mary Malone, que Lyra se ha quedado dormida de aburrimiento, no como nuestros oyentes que aplauden el regreso de Roger Zombie Abracitos. ¡Miedo nos da!

Amelha Timoner est agrégée d'anglais et doctorante en études anglophones à l'université Paris Nanterre. Après avoir consacré ses deux mémoires de Master aux crises d'autorité dans A la croisée des mondes de Philip Pullman, elle s'intéresse désormais, dans le cadre de sa thèse, à l'œuvre de Jasper Fforde. Elle présente ici la série HIS DARK MATERIALS tirée des écrits de Philip Pullman. Elle montre tout d'abord que cette série est basée sur l'aventure, construction de soi, quête parentale. Dimension jeunesse/adolescente : daemons changeants, jeu, mais rapidement : assombrissement car enlèvement d'enfants et ce qu'on leur fait subir. Dimension de quête : retrouver Roger, puis apporter l'objet facilitateur (aléthiomètre) au père, retrouver le père de Will, mettre la main sur l'objet facilitateur, sacrifice (Poignard subtil) des quêtes assez typiques en jeunesse (quête d'origine notamment), quête dans d'autres mondes = dimension d'exploration (d'abord dans le monde de Lyra de plus en plus au nord, puis aussi dans celui du Will et enfin Cittàgazze) qui permet aux enfants de grandir et de se construire, et ce loin des adultes ou même contre eux (les adultes sont les antagonistes majeurs : Boreal/Coulter, les scientifiques). Parents et figures d'autorité (rapport légèrement différent au livre car Lyra est davantage une ado que dans le bouquin) : lors du premier voyage , Gitans, Ours, Lee. John & Elaine Parry défaillants, Asriel (rejet) & Mrs Coulter En suite elle explique ce qu'est la Poussière, Science et Religion Magisterium : masculin, blanc (exception de Lord Boréal à développer, et corrompu) vs Mrs Coulter, et aussi anti-sorcières (et aussi comparer les sorcières et Mrs Coulter : niveau des costumes/valeurs/peinture vs maquillage : sorcières libres mais seulement dans leur microcosme/ Mrs C. veut être libre et puissante au sein de la société) guerre entre Asriel et l'Autorité qui plane , volonté de détruire la Poussière Mais la Poussière, c'est quoi au juste ? (cf le générique pour la représentation aussi), particules élémentaires conscientes, qui se dépose au moment de la puberté sur les individus, crainte par le Magisterium, les Spectres s'en nourrissent, l'aléthiomètre est mu par la Poussière. Science au service de la religion: daemons et péché originel. Bolvangar science et religion/spiritualité pour Mary Malone. Réécriture du Paradise Lost de Milton. Parcours féminins, parcours bibliques : Lyra/Eve, Mary Malone/Serpent. Prophétie des sorcières — destin et questionnement du péché originel . Plus d'infos sur https://www.histoireenseries.com

"Malice" - From Wikipedia The witches see angels flying overhead. Ruta Skadi believes they are joining Asriel in a coming war. She follows, wanting to find Asriel to help them destroy the Magisterium. Fra Pavel informs Cardinal MacPhail that that the alethiometer shows Mrs Coulter is searching for Lyra, who plays a part in a disastrous prophecy. Paola, Angelica, and other children, wanting to avenge Tullio, attack Will and Lyra. Serafina arrives and saves them. The witches cast a healing spell on Will's wounded hand, but need more powerful medicinal plants growing in their lands. Spectres nearly devour one witch, but Will repels them with the Subtle Knife. Mary arrives in Cittàgazze, unknowingly protected by angels. She encounters Paola and Angelica and promises to help find their adult counterparts. Boreal and Mrs Coulter also enter Cittàgazze, searching for Lyra, Will, and the Subtle Knife. They encounter spectres which Mrs Coulter can control by suppressing her humanity. She fatally poisons Boreal, stating he hinders her ambitions. Lee and Parry, flying to Cittàgazze, are pursued by Magisterium airships. Parry uses his shaman powers to summon storms and a flock of birds that take down two airships. A third ship shoots Lee's balloon, forcing him to land.

"The Scholar" (from Wikipedia)Cardinal MacPhail claims the witches' deadly airship attack is a sign that the Authority is punishing the Magisterium for lacking devotion. McPhail then falsely accuses Father Graves, his former rival for the cardinalate, of losing faith and has him arrested. He instructs his alethiometrist, Fra Pavel, to learn Mrs Coulter's location and what she seeks. Mrs Coulter and Boreal arrive at Boreal's other Oxford house to wait for Lyra and Will's arrival. Mrs Coulter visits Mary Malone, introducing herself as Lyra's mother. Later, the Cave instructs Mary to play the serpent, journey to another world, and save the girl and boy, before shutting itself down. Paola and Angelica blame Lyra and Will for the spectres consuming their brother Tullio's soul. Lyra arrives at Boreal's, distracting him, while Will cuts a window into his house to retrieve the alethiometer. Lyra is shocked to encounter Mrs Coulter there; Pan viciously attacks Coulter's daemon. Will, struggling with Boreal, grabs the alethiometer and cuts a window back to Cittàgazze, escaping with Lyra.

Episode Synopsis pulled from Wikipedia:Will visits his mother while Lyra heads to Oxford where she encounters Charles Latrom (Lord Boreal). The alethiometer guides Lyra to Mary Malone, a physicist researching Dark Matter (Dust). Lyra shows Mary the alethiometer, and Mary demonstrates her research that similarly allows computer communication with Dust. Cardinal Sturrock dies, leaving Father MacPhail a possible successor. Dr Lanselius, the witches' peace envoy, testifies that Ruta Skati's attack was a lone act. He is then falsely convicted of spying, heresy, and treason. Will meets his paternal grandparents who want his father's letters. Will leaves as they call to report him to police. Mary connects Lyra to her computer. The particles form screen images that Lyra interprets. Lyra tells Will the alethiometer told her to help him. At Mrs Coulter's urging, MacPhail takes a bold action and bombs the witches' territories. Thorold, Asriel's jailed assistant, tells Mrs Coulter that Asriel intended to sacrifice Lyra to open up the other world. When MacPhail is chosen Cardinal, Mrs Coulter threatens blackmail to ensure his continued cooperation.The witches vow retribution for their destroyed lands. A mysterious figure whispers for Lee Scoresby to "return." Lyra flees Boreal's henchman who confronts her in Mary Malone's office. Outside, Charles Latrom (Boreal) offers Lyra a lift. After exiting his car, she discovers the alethiometer missing from her backpack. Scoresby, searching for Grumman, finds his balloon has inexplicably flown to Yenisei. Dr Haley, an astronomy scholar there, confirms Grumman is alive and declares him a heretic. Haley, a Magisterium agent, attempts to shoot Scoresby, who is arrested after killing Haley in self-defence. In Cittàgazze, Will sees someone inside the tower. Mrs Coulter arrives in Yenisei and discovers Scoresby jailed there. He conceals Lyra's whereabouts, but Mrs Coulter later frees him, knowing he will keep Lyra safe. Mary attempts to communicate with Dust. Serefina Pekkala's daemon, Kaisa, and Iorek discuss Lyra and the prophecy. Lord Boreal will return the alethiometer if Will and Lyra bring him a knife hidden in the Tower of the Angels in Cittagàzze.A narrator recounts the Subtle Knife's origins and why spectres were unleashed. Scoresby finds Jopari, a shaman who confirms he is Grumman. He claims he "summoned" Scoresby and needs his help to find the Subtle Knife, named Æsahættr, and bring it to Asriel. Mary rejects Boreal's offer to fund her and Oliver's research. Lyra and Will ascend the Tower of the Angels in Cittàgazze and encounter Giacomo Paradisi, the elderly knife bearer. A youth named Tullio has just attacked him and stolen the knife. Will recovers the knife, but his right-hand little fingerand ring finger are partially severed during the struggle; Paradisi proclaims Will is now the knife bearer and shows how to cut portals between worlds. After Lyra and Will depart with the knife, Paradisi, no longer protected, fatally poisons himself to thwart the spectres. Tullio's soul is eaten by the spectre. Scoresby agrees to help Jopari if Lyra is put under the Subtle Knife's protection. Mary communicates with Dust, which are angels. Lord Boreal leads Mrs Coulter through Cittàgazze to the alternate Oxford to find Lyra. Serafina Pekkala and Ruta Skadi attack the Magisterium airships guarding the portal, then travel through to find Lyra.

As they head south towards the Himalayas, Will and Iorek discuss the unique properties of the subtle knife. Will explains how he came to possess the knife and shows Iorek the wound he obtained fighting for it. He tells Iorek that he is supposed to take the knife to Lord Asriel but first he must rescue Lyra Silvertongue, to which Iorek pledges the bears' help. Once they reach the shore, Will shows an awestruck Iorek how the subtle knife opens windows to other worlds. Afterwards, they begin the three day journey to Lyra, unaware that both Lord Asriel and the combined forces of the Magisterium are also on their way. Meanwhile, in the world of Ci'gazze, Father Gomez listens as a little red-haired girl and her brother tell him about a woman who passed through town, unaware and unafraid of the Spectres, on her way south towards the mountains. He thanks the children for their help and sets off through the hot, silent streets towards the south. Further ahead, Mary Malone has learned a great deal about the mulefa she is traveling with. After three days in their company she discovers that these creatures have language, fire, and formed a society. Mary realizes that, while they are not human like she is, the mulefa are indeed a people. She consults the I Ching about what to do next and it replies that she should continue her stay. Mary is taken by the mulefa and works to become a useful part of their intricate and intimate society. One afternoon, while Mary helps to repair the roof of a hut, a flock of giant white birds called Tualapi attack the mulefas' village, emptying the food supplies and demolishing the wheel store. As a final insult, the Tualapi defecate throughout the decemated village before heading downstream towards the sea. Reeling after the attack, Mary collects the few seedpods that remain to the relief of the anxious mulefa, for despite the great effort, care, and love that they give them, the wheel-pod trees are inexplicably dying. 

As Father McPhail warns of the Tempter, Mary Malone bids farewell to the kind, elderly couple that assisted her when she first crossed into the world of Ci'gazze. Unsure where to go next, she consults the I Ching, a Chinese method of fortune telling kindred to the alethiometer. After hiking a mountain path for four hours, Mary discovers a window to another world. Once through, she is astounded by what she finds. Miniscule insects and tiny hummingbirds fly in sharp relief to the wide, red-gold trunks of the new world's enormous trees. Yet nothing is as strange as the creatures Mary finds in the grove. Called mulefa, the creatures have short trunks like elephants, diamond-shaped bodies, and claws that they hook through wheel-shaped seedpods they ride through the countryside. Mary communicates with the mulefa, who are able to mimic her in broken English. They befriend her, gesturing for Mary to travel with them as they leave the safety of the grove. Meanwhile, in Lyra's world, Balthamos suddenly senses that Baruch has died. He is overtaken by anguish and guilt, almost unable to go on, but Will is able to convince him to continue for Baruch's sake. As they travel, Will and Balthamos encounter a priest who warns them of a village in the south that is plagued by armoured bears. The bears are attacking because the villagers refuse to refuel them. Will and Balthamos make their way to the village where Will comes up with a plan to stop the fighting. He says he will challenge one of the bears; if Will wins, the villagers must refuel the bear's ship so they can be on their way. The bear agrees; but when Will displays the power of the subtle knife, he refuses to fight such a weapon. The villagers keep their word and refuel the bears' boats. Will tells one of the bears that he is looking for Iorek Byrnison to help him find his friend, Lyra Silvertongue. The bear reveals to Wil that he is, in fact, Iorek Byrnison. Fascinated by Will's knife, Iorek agrees to help Will find Lyra, allowing him to travel with the bears as they make their way toward the Himalayas. 

Författaren Philip Pullmans skrivande handlar om att pussla ihop något som gick sönder i mänskligheten för över trehundra år sedan. Skribenten och diplomaten Ulla Gudmundson berättar mer i denna essä. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Sommaren när jag var åtta år hade jag en upplevelse som bara kan kallas existentiell. Den kom, inte på vägen till Damaskus, men väl till glasskiosken, i dalabyn där jag tillbringade mina skollov. Julidagen var ovanligt het. När jag var nästan framme hände det. Världen tog ett grepp om mig. Jag minns att jag tänkte: det här är inte film! Det är på riktigt! Det händer nu! Jag stirrade på mina sandalklädda fötter klafs, klafs i den kladdiga asfalten. Och på trafikspegeln i sin gulochsvartrandiga ram.  Allt fanns. Det kan låta banalt, men det var det inte. Jag tror det jag upplevde var det som digitalkonstnären Jenny Odell har kallat observationens eros. En överväldigande känsla av närvaro. Av kroppslig delaktighet i världen, fri från impulsen att analysera, handla, kontrollera. Jag är övertygad om att det är den upplevelsen som den brittiske barnboksförfattaren Philip Pullman beskriver i sin essäbok Daemon Voices. Han har två sådana minnen, och jag tror de är nyckeln till hans författarskap. För han kommer tillbaka till känslan gång på gång. Jag vet aldrig vad mitt tema är förrän historien redan är på väg, skriver han. Jag börjar aldrig med en idé. Jag börjar med färger, ljud, atmosfär. Inte med en disposition. Jag har försökt. Men den del av mig som ville skriva så kunde inte. Och den del som kunde skriva ville inte. Pullman vill inte kallas barnboksförfattare. Han vill skriva för alla åldrar. Han citerar sin kollega C S Lewis, som skapade Narnia: När jag var barn, gillade jag sockerdricka. Jag hade nog inte tyckt om vitt vin. Nu, som vuxen, dricker jag gärna vitt vin. Men jag gillar fortfarande sockerdricka.  Som vuxen läsare av Pullmans böcker ser man tydligt att där och det gäller förstås alla goda barnböcker finns både vin och sockerdricka, flera nivåer. Också sagopersonerna upplever observationens eros. I trilogin Den mörka materien, som blev Pullmans stora genombrott som författare, kretsar handlingen kring en mystisk substans, Stoft. Både vetenskapen och kyrkans fruktade säkerhetstjänst är på jakt efter den.  Huvudpersonen, den tolvåriga flickan Lyra, förklarar för forskaren Mary Malone att hon bara kan se Stoft om hon lägger ner de analytiska vapnen, blir avspänd och tillitsfull. Och Malone förstår. Ja, du måste härda ut i osäkerhet, mysterium, tvivel, utan att gripa efter fakta och förnuft. Det är ett citat, hämtat från John Keats, en av den brittiska romantiska poesins  ikoner. Och det är ingen slump. Romantiken idealiserade barnet. The child is father of the man, barnet är mannens far, skrev en annan poet, William Wordsworth. Men Pullman stannar inte där. Han börjar med sockerdrickan men vill gå vidare till vinet. Han vill skildra resan från barndom till vuxenhet, från oskuld till erfarenhet. Arketypen är Eva, som i Första Mosebok bryter mot Guds förbud och biter i frukten från kunskapens träd. För henne tar Pullman, inspirerad av förromantiska poeter som John Milton och William Blake, tydligt parti. Men erfarenhet innebär också att paradiset går förlorat barnets omedvetna elegans och spontana förmågor. Lyra förlorar förmågan att tolka guldkompassens symboler när hon går in i puberteten. Bara år av studier kan ge den tillbaka. Pullman började som lärare och tron att lärande och bildning underlättar barns väg till vuxenhet löper som en röd tråd genom hans böcker. Men ett annat spår är att erfarenhet innebär smärta, insikten att världen är tragisk. Att gott och ont i människan är intrasslade med varandra. Pullman kallas ofta fantasyförfattare. När han år 2005 fick ALMA-priset, barnlitteraturens största pris, var motiveringen att han förnyat fantasygenren. Själv understryker han att han skriver i en realistisk tradition. Han är i själva verket kritisk till fantasy, inklusive till ikoner som Lewis och Tolkien. Det är ingen konst att hitta på, men fantasykaraktärer blir ofta bleka, utan kött och blod, säger han. Och det gäller definitivt inte person- och miljöskildring i hans egna böcker. I själva verket är det just konkretionen, det faktum att man känner igen sig i hans världar som gör dem så övertygande. Pullman använder samma grepp som Margaret Atwood i dystopin Tjänarinnans berättelse: det som skrämmer är att allt känns så välbekant. Linsen vrids bara en liten liten smula. Det är vår egen värld som gått snett. Och Pullman väjer inte för vuxenlivets mörka sidor, inklusive våld och död. I boken The Butterfly Tattoo utsätter en far sin dotter för sexuella övergrepp. I serien om flickdetektiven Sally Lockhart, där scenen är 1800-talets London, kidnappas en flicka in i prostitution och opiumröken ligger tjock i källarhålorna. Våldtäkt förekommer i flera böcker. Pullman vill, säger han, skildra sådant som barn har upplevt och som dagens barn faktiskt kan få uppleva. Inte bara våld. Han kan, med stor ömsinthet, antyda den vaknande sexualiteten hos en elva-tolvåring. Svagast är han i rena kärleksscener, då kommer han farligt nära Harlekinromanen. Pullman är inte bara realist, han är materialist och ateist. Han avvisar helt tanken på en andlig verklighet. Men i hans böcker har varje människa en daemon, en del av personligheten som har djurgestalt. Och det vimlar av häxor, änglar, flodgudar, feer och talande isbjörnar. Hur får han ihop det? Jag tror nyckeln finns i Cigazze, staden som spelar en huvudroll i Den mörka materien. Cigazze är världen som gått överstyr och som rubbat universum. Härifrån har alla vuxna flytt, undan Gengångarna som dödar genom att suga ut det unikt mänskliga hos dem, deras medvetenhet. Något gick snett, får vi veta, för trehundra år sedan Då begick Cigazzes vise ett ödesdigert misstag. Pullmans måltavla är svår att missa: det han syftar på är 1600-talets vetenskapliga revolution, yxhugget som i polemik mot en religiöst grundad världsbild klöv verkligheten i en materiell och en andlig dimension. Det är den dikotomin, med Max Webers ord världens avförtrollning, som Pullman vill upphäva.  Det mest avskyvärda i Den mörka materien är de vetenskapliga experiment som går ut på ett med ett giljotinhugg skilja barn från deras daemoner. Då kan de aldrig bli medvetna vuxna, de blir manipulerbara robotar. I The Secret Commonwealth är temat den vuxna Lyras jakt på sin förrymda daemon, mården Pantalaimon. Han söker efter hennes borttappade fantasi. Pullman gör inte anspråk på att skriva stor litteratur. Han berättar historier. Men han har ett budskap, och här blir det nästan övertydligt.  Han vill återskapa en förlorad, vibrerande resonans mellan människans medvetenhet, inklusive fantasin, och den fysiska värld som hon är en del av. Och jag tror att det var den resonansen som en åttaårig flicka drabbades av, då, en ovanligt het julidag, för längesen.

In Lyra's world, Lee Scoresby continues to search for Stanislaus Grumman. He packs up his ballon and makes his way by boat down the Yenisei River. After docking in a village, he enlists the help of an old Siberian Tartar, who tells Lee that they have been expecting him. Lee follows the old man to a wood-framed, skin-covered hut where Grumman, who is now a shaman, lives. A bright, yellow-eyed daemon watches Lee from behind splays of dried flowers and pine. The old man calls for Grumman in his native tongue using a different name: Jopari. Lee tells Grumman about Lyra and Lord Asriel, and asks for his help. Grumman reveals that his real name is John Parry and that he brought Lee here using a Navajo ring that belonged to Lee's mother. Parry says that Lord Asriel's task is the greatest undertaking in human history and that he needs something he doesn't have to succeed: the subtle knife. He wants Lee to take him to find the instrument and the knife bearer who wields it. Lee agrees to take John Parry to the other world to look for the knife if he agrees to place Lyra under its protection once he has it. In Ci'gazze, Will and Lyra are attacked and almost killed by a group of angry children, but Serafina Pekkala and her clan rescue them and take them away from the city. Serafina notices that Specters seem to be afraid of Will's knife. When they are settled, Serafina looks at Will's wound and prepares a spell to help heal his hand. As Will sleeps, Serafina asks Lyra to tell her about the boy. Back in Will's world, Mary Malone tries to convince her colleague, Dr. Oliver Payne, to continue their work with The Shadows. Dr. Payne is ready to quit when Sir Charles Latrom walks through the door and offers them funding to continue their research. His only condition is that they allow him to determine the course of their studies. Mary refuses, angering Sir Charles. Later that evening, Mary returns to the lab and is able to talk to the Shadows through the use of her computer. The Shadows tell Mary that her fate is somehow connected with that of Will and Lyra. They tell her to leave her world and enter another, where she will be protected from the Specters. After destroying the computer and the remains of her work, Mary deceives the watchman guarding the window and enters the warm, sunny world of Ci'gazze.

In the world of Cittagazze, Lyra awakens before Will and plans to visit Mary Malone without him. As she makes her way to the window, she encounters three younger children playing in the water. They talk to her about cats, Specters, the Guild, and a place called the Tower of Angels or Torre degli Angeli. She leaves the children and crosses over into Will's Oxford, making her way to the physics building to see Mary. Dr. Malone tells Lyra that some officials from Will's world are already there and asking about her. They begin questioning Lyra and she accidentally reveals that she knows Will. Realizing her mistake, Lyra flees from the building and is picked up later by the man she met in the museum the day before, Sir Charles Latrom. He takes Lyra to the window that leads to Ci'gazze but before he drops her off, Sir Charles steals the alethiometer. Lyra returns to Ci'gazze and tells Will what happened. Together Lyra and Will go to Sir Charles's house to confront him. He tells them that he will give back the alethiometer if they get him a knife that is being held by a man in Ci'gazze, in the Tower of Angels. Will is shocked when he sees the head of a serpent peeking out the sleeve of Sir Charles' linen coat but Lyra does not see it. She and Will agree to retrieve the knife. They go to the Torre and see a man, Angelica's older brother Tullio, trying to use the knife. Tullio has ambushed and beaten an old man named Giacomo Paradisi and stolen the knife from him. Will and Tullio fight for the knife and Tullio cuts off two of Will's fingers. Will wins the fight and keeps the knife but Tulio escapes. The old man explains that a knife bearer is known by his absence of two fingers. Giacomo teaches Will both how to cut through to other worlds and how to close up the holes again. Later that night, Lyra and Will return to Will's world, planning to use the knife to steal the alethiometer. While they are at Sir Charles house, Mrs. Coulter arrives and Lyra realizes that Sir Charles Latrom is actually Lord Boreal, who wants the knife so he can travel between worlds without fearing the Specters. Lyra causes a diversion so Will can take the alethiometer. Mrs. Coulter's monkey daemon chases them, almost catching them, but Will and Lyra escape through a window to the world of Ci'gazze and close it up again. 

After hitting a dead-end, Will and Lyra separate to pursue their own interests while in Oxford. Will finds that much of what he needs to know about his father is a matter of public record. He writes a  short postcard to his mother, then heads to the library to do some research. Meanwhile, Lyra looks for a quiet place to consult the alethiometer. She ends up in a museum where she discovers an exhibit containing the exact furs and sledge from her kidnapping in the North, along with a photo of the same Samoyed hunters who took her to Bolvangar! Close by is another exhibit showcasing a number of human skulls, all of which have holes bored into them. The alethiometer reveals a strange truth about the skulls that Lyra doesn't fully understand.  Shortly after, she is approached by an older, grey-haired man in a linen suit, who was quietly watching her from the upper level of the museum. He tries to get Lyra to come with him but she declines. After consulting the alethiometer again, Lyra finds a physicist named Dr. Mary Malone, a former nun who researches dark matter and something she calls Shadows. Dr. Malone explains to Lyra that Shadows are conscious and they cluster around humans. Lyra realizes they are the same thing as Dust, and convinces Mary that she can talk to Shadows. Will learns more about the Arctic expedition his father was on just before he vanished. Back in Cittagazze, he reads his father's letters and finds out that just before he disappeared, his father was looking for the same kind of hole into another universe that Will fell through. In Lyra's world, Lee Scoresby searches for Stanislau Grumman and accidentally kills an agent of the Church. Serafina and her witches enter the world of Ci'gazze and learn about the Specters and the bene elim, angels who are able to pass between worlds. Ruta Skadi leaves the witches to follow a flight of angels as they make their way North. As they approach a large mountain range, Ruta hears the clanging and pounding of the “fortress Lord Asriel was building at the end of the world”.
