They are armed with guns, but wear no disguise, not even the usual band of black crape across the upper half of the face. "Now, sir speak," she says, at length in rather tremulous tones growing fearful of the lengthened silence. There is a dangerous vibration in the arm that Geoffrey has round her, that gives her warning to make some change in the scene as soon as possible. She smiles again.
