So far as Graham was able to judge, it was near midday when the white banner of the Council fell. But some hours had to elapse before it was possible to effect the formal capitulation, and so after he had spoken his "Word" he retired to his new apartments in the wind-vane offices.
For a while, as Graham went through the passages of the Wind-Vane offices with Lincoln, he was preoccupied. But, by an effort, he attended to the things which Lincoln was saying. Soon his preoccupation vanished. Lincoln was talking of flying. Graham had a strong desire to know more of this new human attainment. He began to ply Lincoln with questions.

And when I return ?" "I shall know of your going and coming. I will wait for you here again." They regarded one another steadfastly, questioningly, and then he turned from her towards the Wind-Vane office.
"My brother is waiting," explained Lincoln. "He is alone in the wind-vane offices. We feared you had been killed in the theatre. He doubted and things are very urgent still in spite of what we are telling them there or he would have come to you."

"Ostrog has it planned. Trust him. We have our organisations ready. We shall seize the flying stages . Even now he may be doing that. Then "
