discarded cloak, and he felt her intrepid spirit respond to his
own. Now she understood that moment in the basin; she knew it had
been supreme; she was great enough to see there was nothing to
forgive. "You were right," she said, and her voice broke in those
steadying pauses that carried more expression than any words. "Fate
was with us again. But I owe-my life-to you."-from "Chapter XI: The
Loophole"Explorer, frontier trailblazer, and quiet hero Hollis
