Chapter V
When Zoe came to herself, the first sensation of which she was conscious was a stinging taste in her mouth, the next the dark woods cutting the sky opposite her. She cried out weakly, and closed her eyes to shut out the sight. “That’s right!” said a voice. “How do you feel?” “All smashed up,” she murmured feebly.
