At the same time Evelyn Erith drew her little length noiselessly along his, and he felt her mouth warm against his ear: "Gray?"
He was silent so long that Miss Erith finally looked up questioningly. McKay's face had become white and stern, and in his fixed gaze there was something dreadful. "Please," she faltered, "go on." He looked at her absently; the colour came back to his face; he shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, yes. What was I saying? Yes about that vast ledge up there under the mountains...
