Beloved (2001)
“Beyond the leaded casement a cloud-covered moon cast the dimmest of light into a violet-tinged black sky.
Ella, her arms pressed to her sides, took a step into the room.
“Close the door.”
She jumped and peered around. “Close it, Ella.” Saber’s voice. “Where are you?”
“Do as I ask.”
“Yes.” Yes, she had nothing to fear from her old friend. She pushed the door until the latch clicked like a gunshot in the room’s heavy stillness.
“There is a key in the lock. Turn it.”
Sa...ber’s voice, but not exactly as she remembered it. Ella turned the key.
“Come here.”
Her hands went to her throat. “Where are you?”
“Near the window.”
“Can’t we light a lamp?”
“I find that when there is nothing to distract the attention— such as looking upon another—one may truly hope for the touching of minds.”MoreLess
