16 6 So her puzzlement, her vague unease, her half-conscious consternation, was not really difficult to understand.
16 7 Indeed, at first she did not really think of the sounds as of a language, at all, but only as human sounds, and then, gradually, she realized they must be in a language.
16 8 The streams of sound bubbling about her like water, sometimes breaking forth, sometimes soothing, rippling, sometimes rushing, must be intentionally formed.
16 9 There was something articulate and precise in the music, in the sounds.
16 10 These were not the sounds of animals, the roars, and growls, the bleating, bellowing, shrieking, howlings, and hissings of animals, nor the sounds of nature, nothing like the dashings of branches against one another, lashed by the wind, nothing like the pattering of rain, the tumbling of rocks, the drums of thunder, the shattering proclamations of lightning.
16 11 So why did she not understand them? Doubtless she was very tired, and wanted to sleep.
16 12 Why could they not be quiet, these voices which must be in her dream? What a strange dream! It crossed her mind that she might complain to the building superintendent.
