First it means gate, and it is the name of my Fairy Prince, when you spell it in full letter by letter. There are seventy-eight parts to it, which makes a perfect plan of the whole Palace, so you can always find your way, if you remember to say T.A.R.O. Then you remember I.N.R.l. was on the ring too. I.N.R.I. is short for L.V.X., which means the brilliance of the wide wide-wake Light, and that too is the name of my Fairy Prince only spelt short.…
