““Make some light, dear." Garion fumbled for one of the candles, bumped his sleeve against it, and then deftly caught it before it hit the floor.He was sort of proud of that. "Don't play with it, Garion Just light it." Her tone was so familiar and so commonplace that he began to laugh, and with the little surge of will that he directed at the candle was a stuttering sort of thing. The flame that appeared bobbled and hiccuped at the end of the wick in a soundless chortle. Polgara looked steadily at the giggling candle, then closed her eyes, " oh, Garion," she sighed in resignation. * "Garion, why is that candle acting like that?" "Don't worry about it, dear.””
