Legend of the Seventh Virgin
“They were frightened.
“We want you to come back with us, Kerensa, just until they find him.”

“Find whom?”
“It’s Reuben Pengaster. He’s escaped. They rather think he’ll come back here.”
Reuben Pengaster! It was years ago that he had tried to wall me up. There had been times when ...I told myself I wished he had succeeded; if he had, I should have gone to my death believing that Kim loved me as I loved him; and it seems that the greatest tragedy of my life was learning otherwise.
I laughed. “I’m not afraid.”
“Listen, Kerensa.” This was Kim speaking, his voice stern, his eyes clouded with concern for me.MoreLess
