The touch of the horse s flank, under her hand, started the fine, throbbing pulse in her fingertips. She cupped her palm a little, drawing his life into hers. He turned his head and watched her, breathing softly against the coppery cloud of her hair on his neck. s! e whispered. "DarMadoc, how can I stand losing you? ling . How can I let you go?

They were cloaked together in the gray blanket of the soft wet dawn, but sunlight was beginning to thread the dusty windows of the low stable, its shining shafts mak- ing a forward march through the open door from the muddy cobbled courtyard beyond. The horse, a thoroughbred sorrel with a fine sleek coat, glseming and warm as polished bronze, stood fetlock deep in the hay of the big Near-by- , box stall. munching his morning oats, was a sturdy pony, the "parsons pony."

He was hers, a free, living, vital part of her very self, of her father who was recently dead, of their life together. . . . The sense of loneliness, complete and suffocating, came over her.

She knew that, but she plunged on, because she couldn't help it, because because Bethel seemed to will her to, and and because she really did love David. She was saying it aloud, stupidly, shamelessly telling them. . t . I love David. He said he would come for me, or send for me.
