Chapter XIX
GARSYKES Nita made sport of the Garsykes Men when they returned from Logie in the spitting rain of dawn. Slim, and fresh as if she came out of the new day’s heart, she waited for them in the village. And first there came a slack-set company of twenty, glancing behind them constantly. “Is Logie fired?” asked Nita softly. “Aye, we blazed the door through,” came an answering growl.
