The words were spoken deliberately. De Spain was silent for a moment. “Not even to speak to me?” he asked.

“You must know the position I am in,” she answered. “And what a position you place me in if I am seen to speak to you. This is my home. You are the enemy of my people.”

“Not because I want to be.”

“And you can’t expect them not to resent any acquaintance on my part with you.”

He paused before continuing. “Do you count Gale Morgan as one of your people?” he asked evenly.

“I suppose I must.”

“Don’t you think you ought to count all of your friends, your well-wishers, those who would defend you with their lives, among your people?” She made no answer. “Aren’t they the kind of people,” he persisted, “you need when you are in trouble?”

“You needn’t remind me I should be grateful to you–––”

“Nan!” he exclaimed.

“For I am,” she continued, unmoved. “But–––”

“It’s a shame to accuse me in that way.”

“You were thinking when you spoke of what happened with Gale on Music Mountain.”
