Aldous rose, and he was smiling. He nodded. "That's it," he said. "Mortimer FitzHugh is Culver Rann!" "An' an' you know this?" "Absolutely. Joanne gave me Mortimer FitzHugh's photograph to destroy. I am sorry that I burned it before you saw it. But there is no doubt. Mortimer FitzHugh and Culver Rann are the same man." Slowly the old mountaineer turned to the door.
He pushed more tobacco into the bowl of his pipe with a bony forefinger. "He's as close to being a living creature as anything Man has yet devised." "What about the synthecells they're making at Boston Med?" Mike asked, looking innocent. Fitzhugh's contour-map face wrinkled up even more. "I should have said 'living intelligence," he corrected himself.
"The flap of my tepee was open," she said slowly. "I thought I was awake. I thought I could see the glow of the fire. But it was a dream a dream, only it was horrible! For as I looked I saw a face out there in the light, a white, searching face and it was his face!" "Whose face?" "Mortimer FitzHugh's," she shuddered. Tenderly Aldous led her back to the tent.
A little dizzily he turned to his room. His hand was on the knob when he heard her speak his name. She had reopened her door, and stood with something in her hand, which she was holding toward him. He went back, and she gave him a photograph. "John, you will destroy this," she whispered. "It is his photograph Mortimer FitzHugh's. I brought it to show to people, that it might help me in my search.
"I can see no harm that can result from Fitzhugh's capture except his detention.... He will be in the hands of old army officers and surgeons, most of whom are men of principle and humanity. His wound, I understand, has not been injured by his removal, but is doing well. Nothing would do him more harm than for him to learn that you were sick and sad. How could he get well?
Mortimer FitzHugh's face leered over his shoulder, his demoniac intention was in his eyes before he acted. With a cry of hatred and of triumph he shoved them both over the edge, and as Aldous plunged to the depths below, still holding to his enemy, he heard a last piercing scream from Joanne.

My mother and sisters were all back at home.
"In the last few hours Marie has bared her soul to me, John. What she has been she has not tried to hide from me, nor even from the man she loves. She was one of Mortimer FitzHugh's tools. DeBar saw her and loved her, and she sold herself to him in exchange for the secret of the gold. When they came into the North the wonderful thing happened.
On March 9 the main column started eastward down the James River, destroying locks, dams, and boats, having been preceded by Colonel Fitzhugh's brigade of Devin's division in a forced march to Goochland and Beaver Dam Creek, with orders to destroy everything below Columbia.
Fitzhugh's corrugated countenance looked blank. "But Leda...." "No, Doctor," she said firmly. "I will not waste another eight or ten years of my life playing nursemaid to a hunk of pseudo-human machinery. "I watched that thing go mad, Fitz; you didn't. It was the most horrible, most frightening thing I've ever experienced. I will not go through it again.
