He knew she had no such word in her vocabulary as gallantry, knew she would have stared blankly if he had told her she was the most gallant soul he had ever known. His heart went out to her, torn with his own helplessness, wrenched with admiration. He remembered the way she had squared her shoulders when she turned away from him that afternoon, remembered the stubborn lift of her head.

He reached forward for another biscuit and fixed Paul Geronimo with a penetrating gaze. Hovis folded his mirrored pince-nez into an elegant tortoise-shell case and slid this into his top pocket.

Yet he thought, just for a moment, that he saw the towering top of the oak tree, green and lush, before it shimmered and was gone. Only the Blight stretching behind them as before.
