"That explains the name Boris Bothwell." Like an echo the words came back to me from over my shoulder. "Capt. Boris Bothwell to see you, Mr. Sedgwick." In surprise I swung around.

That probably explains why it is that I appear cold to all except you, even to mother; if God should impose on me the terrible affliction of losing you, I feel, so far as my feelings can at this moment grasp and realize such a wilderness of desolation, that I would then cling so to your parents that mother would have to complain of being persecuted with love.

"You have all signified your willingness to carry out the terms of the edict of annihilation," the chairman explains. "It now remains for you to redeem your pledges.
