Before either of the young men couldspeak, Betty had followed it and sat down by it.
They stood round the dwarf while, slowly and in uttersilence, it scrambled clumsily in. It left behind ita softly shining trail as if it were the streak of a snails path.
And now inthis happier world he had thought to enter, a thing as extreme struckhim. This was the Return, and this theoperation of inflexible law. But the noise was multiple; that scream was not solitary. She gasped out to Jonathan: Let go-you must.
It was the most startling and the most dangerous. Hervoice came out with a summons that was like a thin shriek: Betty! The Acts of the City were in operation; she felt their direction.
Betty took her hand off Richards shoulder.
If were to do it, lets go now- He went to the tableand took up the canvas. She added, more quietly and snivelling: I shall catch a dreadfulcold.
That Betty wasquite unlike the doll she helplessly held. The dwarf sprang jerkily into thelit hall.
After that instinctive effort to escape, sheaccepted that; she even gloried in it.
Lester was exposed to the true method;Evelyn was seeking the false. But she was alsoaware of a certain difference in her surroundings. They stood round the dwarf while, slowly and in uttersilence, it scrambled clumsily in.
It was time the magicaldwarf was driven back to Simon. She was here-and Richard and Betty,and Jonathan too, were here for this purpose.
The dwarfs head jerked, and turned as far as it could from one to theother. It left behind ita softly shining trail as if it were the streak of a snails path. She said: No, really, Jon; its too silly.
