And behind them, as the dust cleared, more and more chanel bags of the ghosts were gazing in horror at the abyss. They were crouching on the slope, too frightened to move. Only the harpies were unafraid; they took to their wings and soared above, scanning backward and forward, flying back to reassure those still in the tunnel, flying ahead to search for the way out.
     Lyra checked: at least the alethiometer was safe. Suppressing her fear, she looked around, found Roger's little face, chanel handbags and said:
     "Come on, then, we're all still here, we en't been hurt. And we can see now, at least. So just keep going, just keep on moving. We can't go any other way than round the edge of this..." She gestured at the abyss. "So we just got to keep going ahead. I swear Will and me'll just keep on till we do. So don't be scared, don't give up, don't chanel bags lag behind. Tell the others. I can't look back all the time because I got to watch where I'm going, so I got to trust you to come on steady after us, all right?"

Whenever they could, they looked ahead of them fixedly, on this rock, that foothold, this projection, that loose slope of gravel, and kept their eyes from the gulf; but it pulled, it tempted, and they couldn't ugg boots clearance help glancing into it, only to feel their balance tilting and their eyesight swimming and a dreadful nausea gripping their throats.
     From time to time the living ones looked back and saw the infinite line of the dead winding out of the crack they'd come through: mothers pressing their infants' faces to their breasts, aged fathers clambering slowly, little children clutching the skirts of the person in front, young boys and girls ugg boots clearance of Roger's age keeping staunch and careful, so many of them... And all following Will and Lyra, so they still hoped, toward the open air.
     But some didn't trust them. They crowded close behind, and both children felt cold hands on their hearts and their entrails, and they heard vicious whispers:
     "Where is the upper world? How much farther?"
