The firing was much nearer. She recognized the obscene something to the guard, and then told Evelyn to follow her. In the anteroom a grey cat looked her over curiously, and Evelyn frowned. She might have to get rid of the cat if she stayed here. Under certain circumstances the animal could prove her deadliest enemy. suspiciously—"S'ria Lyn. Do sit down.
