. it was nice of her to mention it . but i wondered if she meant it ." have you heard from marcus ?"
at his name , she leaped to her feet ." no , i haven't "
i wanted foe more information , buy gisela had retreated into painful refflections . the scene on the tapestry cushion at my right elbow depicted hunters in the forest and a wounded white stag . the forest had been woven with little animals and flowers .' are you angry , by any chance , gisela ?"
"i' am and i'm not . ' gisela took up a position by the long window and fingered the curtain tieback ." okay , i'll say this . in the end , i felt i had no choice . i'm married to roger and i can't just break a vow as easiy as marcus suggests ."
this shone a new , fasinating light on the situation ." gisela , since when have you minded about marriage vows ?"
she tossed her head ." " you've read me wrong , minty . i always observed the contract . i did exactly what was expected and what i underlook to do . marriage is a business , not some mystical revelation ." she fiddled some more with the tieback .
in the end . it was a choice . that what 's upset me ....a little . i did not have it in me to consider the alternative with marcus to what i have now , with roger . i could not see it ."
"ah "
" dose that make me dead ?"
i hazarded a shrewd guess ." it that what marcus said ?"
gisela smiled bleakly ." something al;ong those lines . but it's done ." she returned to her seat , and i watched her slip back into the hostess 's skin , straightening her skin and lifting the teapot . " more ?"
gisela 's pact with the devil had not made her happy ." are you sure ?"
