"The Scarecrow Went Soaring Away"

Chapter 8. In which Sophie leaves the castle in several directions at once.

"And the scarecrow went soaring away. Up and backward it went, rags fluttering, arms wheeling in protest, up and out, and on and on, until it was a soaring speck in the sky, then a vanishing point in the clouds, and then not to be seen at all."

"Falling Star"

Chapter 9. In which Michael has trouble with a spell.

"What she could see were bands of low bluish mist and pale glimmers of marshy pools, over and over again, until they built into a pale line where the sky started. The sky was everywhere else, huger still. The Milky Way looked like a band of mist risen from the marshes, and the keen stars twinkled through it.
Michael and Sophie stood, each with a boot ready on the ground in front of them, waiting for one of the stars to move. <...> One of the stars came unstuck from the firmament and darted in a white streak down the sky. “There’s one!” Sophie shrieked instead."
