'It's a little difficult, I own,' said Mr. Noah. 'But, you see, you built those cities in two worlds. It's pulled down in this world. But in the other world it's going on.'
'I don't understand,' said Philip.
'I thought you wouldn't,' said Mr. Noah; 'but it's true, for all that. Everything people make in that world goes on forever.'
'But how was it that I got in?'
'Because you belong to both worlds. And you built the cities. So they were yours.'
'But Lucy got in.'
'She built up a corner of your city that the nurse had knocked down.'
He heard quite a loud, strong, big voice say, 'That's better.'
'But you,' said Philip, more and more bewildered. 'You're here. So you can't be there.'
'But I am there,' said Mr. Noah.
'But you're here. And you're alive here. What made you come alive?'
