Unused Audio

Many lines of dialogue were shortened from their originals for the CD version, but some longer versions were recorded anyway and not used.

Bobbin: That's beautiful! I've never seen anything sparkle like that, not even the long tapestry! What kind of glass is it?
Goodmold: Oh, it's not glass at all, young weaver; it was carved from a single crystal of diamond.
