Read the excerpt from Iqbal. Suddenly I realized that I had to get back to work. My mind had wandered. Just in time I managed to recapture a thread I was about to lose. Then the sunbeams were blocked and the two swords of light stopped fighting. We all turned around to see the master standing in the doorway. His big body filled it. He was dressed for traveling, with a long coat that almost reached his feet and boots covered with red dust. In his left hand he held a sack, and his right hand held the arm of a boy in an iron grip. The boy was thin and dark and not very tall; he looked about two years older than me.
