\title{Lyra's Moment of Heroism}
\author{Philip Pullman}
\date{1995}

But it gave her a surge of strength, and she hauled one girl up out of a snowdrift, and shoved at a boy who was dawdling, and called to them all: ``Keep going! Follow the bear's tracks! He come up with the gyptians, so the tracks'll lead us to where they are! Just keep walking!''



Big flakes of snow were beginning to fall. 
Soon it would have covered Iorek Byrnison's tracks altogether. 
Now that they were out of sight of the lights of Bolvangar, and the blaze of the fire was only a faint glow, the only light came from the faint radiance of the snow-covered ground. 
Thick clouds obscured the sky, so there was neither moon nor Northern Lights; but by peering closely, the children could make out the deep trail Iorek Byrnison had plowed in the snow. 
Lyra encouraged, bullied, hit, half-carried, swore at, pushed, dragged, lifted tenderly, wherever it was needed, and Pantalaimon (by the state of each child's dæmon) told her what was needed in each case.



I'll get them there, she kept saying to herself. 
I come here to get 'em and I'll bloody get 'em.
