The Spies
Over the next few days, Lyra invented several plans on how to go to the North but she threw away the plans because she decided that they wouldn’t work. If she wanted to use the gyptians’ boats, she would have to stow away but their boats were too narrow and small. So she thought it would be better to escape from their boats when the boats were close to the coast to stow away in big ship. But it wouldn’t be easy either as she might stow away on a wrong ship.
Meanwhile, the gyptians went on preparing for their journey. She often found herself Farder Coram, one of the heads who was very intelligent, talking about her, Mrs. Coulter and the aletbiometer. Of course, while talking to him, she always emphasized that she would be helpful for their journey but she didn’t have confidence that it would change their mind about taking her with them. He always listened carefully to her and advised her. Also they had discussions about what the images, on the aletbiometer, meant. At the time, Lyra was pretty accustomed to moving the long needle. The only problem was how to read the meaning.
