He’s escaped. They rather think he’ll come back here.” Reuben Pengaster! It was years ago that he had tried to wall me up. There had been times when I told myself I wished he had succeeded; if he had, I should have gone to my death believing that Kim loved me as I loved him; and it seems that the greatest tragedy of my life was learning otherwise. I laughed. “I’m not afraid.” “Listen, Kerensa.” This was Kim speaking, his voice stern, his eyes clouded with concern for me.
