The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z All three daemons were alert, scouting around corners ahead, watching behind, listening fin-the slightest footfall. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Without a word, but with lips tight and eyes narrowed, the girl and her daemon left and went to bed. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z They seemed to be discussing the escaped daemons.

The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z But the fox daemon tore at the cat Pantalaimon, and Lyra felt the pain in her own flesh, and sobbed a great cry as he fell. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z The reason for that was Mrs. Coulter’s daemon, the golden monkey, who had filled Pantalaimon with a powerful loathing, and who, Lyra felt, had pried into her secrets, and particularly that of the alethiometer. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Her friend the able seaman was nearby, and he paused as he adjusted the canvas cover of the forward hatch to look out at the little girl’s daemon skimming and leaping with the dolphins.

The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Once she tried to play a trick on some of the dead Scholars, by switching around the coins in their skulls so they were with the wrong daemons. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z She ran, and Roger, who was watching wide-eyed as the pale daemons drifted out of the building, waded toward her through the thick snow. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z “This girl, I dunno her name. She said you cut people’s daemons away.” The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Such brisk fights or scuffles between children’s daemons were common, luckily, and no one took much notice, but Roger went pale at once. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Pantalaimon was a snarling snow leopard, just like Lord Asriel’s daemon, but she didn’t see that; all she saw was right and wrong. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Glass broke in three windows and a tile slid off the roof, and then a maidservant ran out, terrified, her clucking hen of a daemon flapping after her. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z She longed to touch that fur, to rub her cheeks against it, but of course she never did; for it was the grossest breach of etiquette imaginable to touch another person’s daemon. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z His own daemon, a seagull, had her head tucked under her wing on the capstan. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z The witch’s daemon gave a cry of anger, and Lyra clutched Pantalaimon to her and said, “Don’t look! Don’t look!” The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z It was such a strange tormenting feeling when your daemon was pulling at the link between you; part physical pain deep in the chest, part intense sadness and love. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z This man’s daemon was a crow, very like the Master’s raven. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z “While she was here, her daemon was coming out of our bedroom. He’s been spying. He knows about the alethiometer!” The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Her sleek black hair framed her cheeks, and her daemon was a golden monkey. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Down from the dark swooped a raven, and Lyra knew it for a witch daemon. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z The snow swirled open, and there they were, a squad of them, armed with rifles, and the wolf daemons snarled beside them. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z In the days that followed, Lyra went everywhere with Mrs. Coulter, almost as if she were a daemon herself.

The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z While they were agreeing with Lee Scoresby what to play and for what stakes, his daemon flicked her ears at Pantalaimon, who understood and leaped to her side lightly as a squirrel. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z Benue was a kindly, solitary man, one of those rare people whose daemon was the same sex as himself. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z His face contentedly deep in fee pie, his toes curled inward and his bare soles together, he sits and chews and swallows while his daemon becomes a mouse and grooms her whiskers. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z “Tell me who you are. What is this about daemons?” The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z The only eyes you could see were the round black ends of the rifle barrels and the blazing yellow eyes of the wolf daemons above the slaver dripping from their jaws. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z “They took us there once,” she added, meaning her and her daemon. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z “Where are the children of these daemons?” said the goose daemon, shaking with rage. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z It might have been the gyptians’ sledge dogs, or it might have been wild spirits of the tundra, or even those freed daemons crying for their lost children. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z His daemon flapped up to the chair back and sat by his head; her old hooded eyes on Lyra. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z “But suppose your daemon setdes in a shape you don’t like?” The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z The Butler bowed slightly and turned to leave, his daemon trotting obediently after him.

The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z The shouts of the children, the shrieks and hoots of the daemons, filled the little gymnasium and soon banished fearful thoughts; which of course was exactly what the exercise was intended to do.

The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z His daemon came close and leaned her head on his waist, and he looked down at her unfathomably before turning away and walking to the table. The Golden Compass 1995-07-01T00:00:00Z But she moved a little closer, because she had to, and then she saw that Iofur was holding something on his knee, as a human might let a cat sit there—or a daemon.
