“The
world is made up out of four elements, right?
Earth, air, fire, water.
Scientific types’ll try and kid you into believing there’s a whole load
of other elements, with funny-sounding Latin names all ending in –um. You don’t want to take any notice of
that. There are only four elements, and
everything else is just a mixture of them.
Your lot have known that ever since the Dark Ages, but clearly you
weren’t paying attention in school or something.”
