There were towering palaces inhabited by kings and emperors; there were broad streets, narrow alleyways and winding lanes; there were sumptuous temples filled with idols of gold and marble; there were busy markets selling wares from all over the world; and there were handsome, spacious squares where people gathered to discuss the latest news and make speeches or listen to them. Last but not least, there were theatres — or, more properly, amphitheatres.

Momo was staring at them wide-eyed, but neither man quite knew how to interpret her gaze. Was she secretly laughing at them, or was she sad? Although her expression gave no clue, they suddenly seemed to see themselves mirrored in her eyes and began to feel sheepish. 'Okay,' said Salvatore, 'maybe I shouldn't have painted those words on your door, Nino, but I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't refused to serve me so much as a single glass of wine. That was against the law, as you know full well. I've always paid up, and you'd no call to treat me that way.'

wretched. The air still reeked of smoke from the agent's cigar, a dense blue haze that was slow to disperse. Not till the smoke had finally gone did Mr Figaro begin to feel better. But as it faded, so did the figures chalked up on the mirror, and by the time they had vanished altogether Mr Figaro's recollection of his visitor had vanished too. He forgot the man in grey but not his new resolution, which he believed to be his alone. The determination to save time now so as to be able to begin a new life sometime in the future had embedded itself in his soul like a poisoned arrow.

As he spoke, the man in grey took doll after doll from the boot, whose contents seemed inexhaustible. Momo continued to sit there, watching him rather apprehensively, while he arrayed them on the ground beside her. 'Well,' he said at length, expelling a dense cloud of smoke from his cigar, 'now do you see how to play with dolls like these?' 'Yes,' said Momo, who was positively shaking with cold. Satisfied, the man in grey nodded and took another pull at his cigar. 'You'd like to keep all these nice things, wouldn't you? Of course you would. Very well, I'll make you a present of them. You can have them - not all at once, of course, but one at a time — and lots of other things as well. You don't have to do anything in return, just play with them the way I've shown you. What do you say?'

But the tortoise had already set off. After a few steps it paused and looked back. 'It really does mean me!' Momo said to herself. She got up and went over to the creature. 'Keep going,' she told it softly, 'I'm right behind you.' And step by step she followed the tortoise as it slowly, very slowly, led her out of the amphitheatre and headed for the city. TEN More Haste Less Speed Old Beppo was pedalling through the darkness on his squeaky bicycle - pedalling with all his might. The grey judge's words still rang in his ears: 'We shall certainly devote some attention to this unusual child ... You may rest assured that this child will never harm us again ... We shall neutralize her by every available means ...'

Or are there but two? Or could there be none? Just name them, and you will at once realize that each rules a kingdom of infinite size. They rule it together and are it as well. In that, they're alike, so where do they dwell?' Professor Hora gave Momo an encouraging nod. Thanks to her excellent memory, she was able to repeat the whole rhyme word for word. She did so, slowly and carefully, then sighed. 'Phew!' she said. 'That's a really hard one. I've no idea what the answer could be. I don't even know where to start.'

'Yes, please,' Beppo said eagerly. The desk sergeant leaned forward. 'Breathe on me!' he barked. Although Beppo failed to see the point of this request, he shrugged his shoulders and obediently blew in the policeman's face. The desk sergeant sniffed and shook his head. 'You don't appear to be drunk.' 'No,' mumbled Beppo, puce in the face with embarrassment. 'I've never been drunk in my life.' 'Then why tell me such a cock-and-bull story? Did you really think I'd be daft enough to believe it?' 162

183 top brass at Fantasy Films. She'd be perfect for the title role in your next film - the one about the girl who becomes a vagrant. Think what a sensation it would make: "Momo, starring Momo"!' 'Didn't you hear what I said?' snapped Guido. 'I don't want her dragged into anything of the kind, is that clear?' The young woman bridled. 'I just don't get it,' she said. 'Most people would jump at such a heaven-sent opportunity.' 'Well, I'm not most people!' Guido shouted in a sudden fury. He turned to Momo. 'Forgive me, you may not understand this, but I don't want these vultures sinking their talons into you as well as me.'

Being barefoot, she couldn't even hear her own footsteps. Every time she turned a corner she hoped to see something that would tell her she was on the right track, some landmark she recognized, but she never did. She couldn't ask the way, either, because the only living creature she saw was a grimy, emaciated dog that was foraging for scraps in a rubbish heap and fled in panic at her approach. At last she came to a huge, deserted square. It wasn't a handsome square with trees or a fountain in the middle, but an empty, featureless expanse fringed with buildings whose dark shapes stood outlined against the night sky.

But how strange the city looked now! Long lines of cars choked the streets with the fumes from their exhausts solidified, and behind each wheel sat a motionless driver, one hand frozen on horn or gear lever. Momo even caught sight of one driver who had been immobilized while glaring at his neigh- 222 hour and meamngtully tapping his forehead. Cyclists were poised at road junctions with their arms extended, signalling right or left, and the people thronging the pavements resembled waxwork figures.
