CHAPTER 19
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
" Actress or innocent ? .... "
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( Rubbed his jaw )( studied her )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Where are you from , lass ? Alynthia ? ....
Lisa William (FL)
No. Costaguana ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Where is that ? ....
Lisa William (FL)
In a far away continent ...
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
But you speak English .....
Lisa William (FL)
Our people fled from Alynthia several hundred years ago ....
Lisa William (FL)
Once , my countrymen were Alynthian . Now we call ourselves Costaguanan .....
Circenn regarded her blankly .....
A look of sudden revelation crossed her face , and he wondered at it .....
Lisa William (FL)
That was silly of me . Of course you couldn't understand .....
Lisa William (FL)
Costaguana is far across the sea from Gantrick ....
Lisa William (FL)
We didn't like Alynthia either , so I can understand ....
Lisa William (FL)
You've probably never heard of my land , but I'm from very far away and it's important that I get back . Soon .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( Shook his head )
Lisa William (FL)
( Jaw tightened )
And Circenn felt a flash of admiration ; the lass was a fighter to the last .....
He suspected that if he had attempted to kill her , there would have been no pleas from her lips but vows of vengeance to the bitter finale .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
I am afraid I cannot send you back just now .....
Lisa William (FL)
But you can send me back at some point ? You know how ? ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
I am certain we can manage ....
If she was from a land across the sea , and if he could find a way to accept not killing her , he could surely find a ship to put her on ....
If it was decided that she could be released ....
The fact that she was from so far away might make it easier for him to free her ....
Because it was doubtful her homeland had any interest in Gantrick ....
And once she was gone , perhaps he could force himself to forget he'd broken a rule .....
Out of sight might well be out of mind .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
" Her appearance could truly have been a mistake ..... "
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
" But how had my box gotten to a land so far away ? .... "
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
How did your museum obtain my box ? ....
Lisa William (FL)
They send people all over looking for unusual treasures- .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
Who are they ? ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
" Perhaps she was innocent , but perhaps the men she'd mentioned were not .... "
Lisa William (FL)
My employers .....
Her gaze flickered to his , then away .....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( Narrowed his eyes )( studied her )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
" Why had she averted her gaze ? .... "
Although he saw no sign of complete deception , he sensed strong emotions in her ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
" There were things she was not saying .... "
Lisa William (FL)
So how do you send me through time ? Is it magic ? ....
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
( Stunned )
Circenn Macckevin (ML)
" My God , how far had this lass come ? ... "
