The Little Secret
““We’ve done it!” gasped Migorn. “We’ve shaken them off! Keep her flying low, Jane — and make for the city!”
The first gray streaks of morning had appeared in the sky. Jane saw the roofs and towers of the city ahead of them. As soon as they reached the outskirts, they could see fighting in the streets below.
