Passage two:

　　“Maybe you're right, Jim,” replied George after a moment's hesitation³.

　　On their way home, they came to a bridge, and George looked down at the river below very carefully, the stars were reflected in its surface.

　　“What are those lights down there?” George asked.

　　“They're the stars, George,” Jim answered.
