Into the silver sweet chiming of her laughter clashed that of Lugur and after a little the nobles took it up, till the whole chamber echoed with their mirth. O'Keefe, lips tightening, moved toward the Handmaiden, and almost imperceptibly, but peremptorily, she waved him back. "Those are great words great words indeed, choya," shrilled Yolara at last; and again Lakla winced beneath the word.
"He is with that girl, I suppose; or, if Lugur is at home, he is watching the house she lives in." "He is very much in love. We must make the best of it. I thought he was in love with Polly Crowther but it seems not. There is a little difference between the two girls." "There is a big difference between them, and it is all in favor of Polly Crowther."
"And many have been the journeys upward of the Shining One, through the Moon Pool returning with still others in its coils. "And now again has it grown restless, longing for the wider spaces. It has spoken to Yolara and to Lugur even as it did to the dead Taithu, promising them dominion. And it has grown stronger, drawing to itself power to go far on the moon stream where it will.
I might lose her; if I go away, she must go with me. She loves me! I know it! I feel it! When she sat at my side as we were driving together she was me. Her personality melted into mine, and Lucy Lugur and Harry Hatton were one. If I felt this, Lucy felt it.
Indeed, my eldest daughter kept her little lad from school that afternoon. She said someone was bound to suffer for Lugur's setdown and it wasn't going to be her John Henry." "He seems to be an ill-tempered man this Lugur, and we don't want such men in Hatton."
"Down!" cried Rador, and hurled me to the ground. My head struck sharply; I felt myself grow faint; Olaf fell beside me; I saw the green dwarf draw down the O'Keefe; he collapsed limply, face still, eyes staring. A shout and from the roadway poured a host of Lugur's men; I could hear Lugur bellowing.
O'Keefe's appalled bewilderment was almost ludicrous. "If he knows all that, and you knew all that, why didn't you let me click him when I had the chance?" "Larree," the green dwarf was oddly humble. "It seemed good to me, too at first. And then I heard a command, heard it clearly, to stop you that Lugur die not now, lest a greater vengeance fail!" "Command? From whom?"
There were footsteps on the path, and into sight came Rador but a Rador changed. Gone was every vestige of his mockery; curiously solemn, he saluted O'Keefe and Olaf with that salute which, before this, I had seen given only to Yolara and to Lugur. There came a swift quickening of the tumult died away. He shrugged mighty shoulders. "The ladala are awake!" he said.
She thrust the cone back into her breast and leaned forward expectantly; so Lugur and so the other dwarfs. From the girl came a low wail of anguish; the boy dropped upon his knees, covering his face. For the moment the white beard stood rigid; then the robe that had covered him seemed to melt away, revealing all the knotted, monstrous body.
"I am done with Lugur and with Yolara and the Shining One!" cried Rador. "My hand is for you three and for Lakla and those to whom she is handmaiden!" The shell leaped forward; seemed to fly. A tal in Muria is the equivalent of thirty hours of earth surface time. The Casting of the Shadow
