"What's happening?" said Will. "Where are the grownups?"
The girl's eyes narrowed. "Didn't the Specters come to your city?" she said.
"No," Will said. ""Up the hills. There was a big fog and storm and everyone was frightened, so we all run up in the hills. Then when the fog cleared, the grownups could see with telescopes that the city was full of Specters, so they couldn't come back. But the kids, we ain' afraid of Specters, all right. There's more kids coming down. They be here later, but we're firstWe just got here. We don't know about Specters. What is this city called?""Ci'gazze," the girl said suspiciously. "Cittagazze, all right.""Cittagazze," Lyra repeated. "Ci'gazze. Why do the grown-ups have to leave?""Because of the Specters," the girl said with weary scorn. "What's your name?""Lyra. And he's Will. What's yours?""Angelica. My brother is Paolo.""Where've you come from?"
