For a long time Amber sat unmoving, his fingers imprisoned in that quiet, cooling grasp, his thoughts astray in a black mist of mourning and bewilderment.

The man's answer was a string of foul curses. Like a panther the engineer leaped forward and struck the fellow on the side of his head with revolver barrel, dropping him where he stood. As the crowd remained suddenly mute, unmoving, their howls checked by this swift reprisal, Weir spoke to Madden: "Quick! To the door!"
