"You can't possibly know what you're saying," India said hoarsely. "This is some sort of cruel trick."

Instantly Alexis's eyes filled with tears and India realized it was no trick. She looked over at Ian, standing impatiently by the carriage. "I shall take her home, Ian. I must have ... a little time alone."

Ian frowned. "I'll go with you."

"No!" India gripped his arm hard for a moment. "Just Alexis and I. Please, Ian."

After a moment her brother shook his head. "Very well, though I don't like it a bit. I'll send you ahead in the carriage with Brown, the footman. But I'll be along in fifteen minutes."

India knew it was as much as she could hope for from her protective brother.

"I hope you're not angry with me," Alexis whispered.

"No, not angry." India held the girl's fingers tightly. "Not angry at all."

"How did it happen?"

They bounced along toward Belgrave Square with Alexis's shoulder propped against India's as the girl toyed restlessly with the frayed edge of her dress.

"I don't quite know. There have always been other people around me, people that no one else could see. I think it was after the battle there in Brussels that I began to see the gray ones."

Even now India felt a little tremor of uneasiness at hearing such words spoken so casually. "And the little boy you mentioned?" She caught a breath to steady her voice. "Tell me about him, Alexis."

"Well, he was ever so nice. He has such kind eyes, deep and without bottom. Like a lake my parents once took me to see in Switzerland." The girl gnawed at her lip for a moment.
