Wolf in Man's Clothing: a Sarah Keate Mystery
“No one was in the corridor. Drue swept along it like a queen with the folds of blue cape swirling around her, so the red lining was like her insignia of royalty. I didn’t speak to her; I took only one look at her blazing white face, her small lifted chin, the poise of her head upon her slender shoulders. At the stairway I hurried ahead to look down to the landing with some vague idea of stopping Drue so the trooper wouldn’t see her—although I could as easily, I fancy, have stopped a whirlwind. ...But he was gone, luckily; for Drue swept past without looking and on down the corridor and into her room. I followed her and said then, “Drue—Drue …”
“Sarah, don’t!”
The little dog was there and came quickly, his tail wagging furiously; I saw her take him into her arms as I turned away and press her white face down upon the wriggling, little brown thing.
I closed the door behind me. Funny how seldom you can really face anything with anybody you love, no matter how hard you try.MoreLess
