Anne was swaying in her saddle; her face was ashy pale. I think she would have fallen but that Loris steadied her with his arm. "What now?" she gasped.

For several seconds the two men regarded each other intently, one longing so much to ask a certain question, and the other reading that question in the wistful, anxious eyes bent so earnestly upon him.

She was not a woman given to speaking first at a meeting, and she allowed Clym to walk across in silence, without turning her head. He came behind her, and she saw his face in the glass. It was ashy, haggard, and terrible.
