1t was the work of a moment to cut their
cords and chafe the numbed wrists and
ankles. James Douglas took the little Mar
garet. Sholto had his sweetheart in his
arms. while Laurence recovered quickly
enough to aid his father in securing GILES
de RetZ and his servants. La Meffraye they
took not, for she lay dead within the inner
chamber where yet burned the great fire
which was used to consume the bodies of
the demons victims. Two gaping wounds
were found in her breast, in the same place
in which the dagger of Laurence Mackim
