"Serku" the green dwarf drew from his girdle the bloodstained poniard "Serku I was forced to slay. Even as he raised the Shadow the globe gave the alarm. Lugur follows with twice ten times ten of his best " He hesitated. "Though we have escaped the Shadow it has taken toll of our swiftness.

A few days later Deborah sends for her. She "went down with cheerfulness," but what was her astonishment to see Deborah with the intercepted letter open in her hand!
