Chapter XVI
“There,” he said, “stands the living Woman, in the Shadow’s place! There speaks the first of the dream warnings to you and to me! Let the future time find us still together, and the second figure that stands in the Shadow’s place will be Mine.” Even Allan was silenced by the terrible certainty of conviction with which he spoke. In the pause that followed, the figure at the pool moved, and walked slowly away round the margin of the shore.
