'You wished to come where someone wanted the child, said the Psammead. 'The child says this is her mother. 'And the mother? 'You can see, said the Psammead. 'But is she really? Her child, I mean?
"'Tis enough that it was found upon your person, and it sufficiently proves the truth of this gentleman's accusation. Have you aught further to say, Captain Ireton? aught that may excuse us for not leaving you behind us in a halter?" Do you wonder, my dears, that I lost my head when I saw how completely the toils of this little black-clothed fiend had closed around me?
Once she turned back to the lake, but finally she started across the frozen grass plots in the direction of the temple. She could see from a distance a black figure seated on the portico, and she hastened her steps. She recognized the familiar squat, black-clothed person of Mrs. Ducharme.
