I saw a girl amongst the pillars, as I was climbing up the stairs. But just when I saw her she hid behind one of the pillars, so I went to see if I could find her. But she kept walking around the pillar at the same speed as I was walking, so that she stayed invisible. Then eventually she stopped and I caught up with her-...As if someone's put a magic spell on them, ...Seem like magic things. ...e, me and this girl from amongst the pillars.

There were skeletons and beggars on high stilts, and they set fire to a tower they'd built while loud bells rang and sad cellos played. And then, near the end, they tied candle-lanterns to balloons and let them go up into the air. And I watched the lanterns instead of the show til they disappeared, which took a long time.
