from beyond the bushes. He could

they died away entirely.

team following in his trail: he saw a

Croisset did not turn his head: no word

soon Rowland could make out no
sign of it. but knew only that they
were twisting through the most open
places in the forests. and that the
play of the polar lights was never over

ways in his face.
