A dull, toneless voice sounded in the Master's ears. Bohannan was speaking.
Diane's voice held a sharpened sound. At last he spoke, very slowly and carefully. "There has been no mistake, Diane. Everything that has been done has been with my sanction by my order. Our marriage has been a culpable mistake. Catherine realised it from the beginning. I only realise my full guilt now that I am punished.
The northern lights leaped into the sky just as I turned from this east-west grade, north again, across a high bridge, to the last road that led home.
