The idea lodged in Patricia's fertile brain was not so easily routed out. He held me gently for half a second, and then, with a sob which I felt rather than heard, he crushed me to him and stopped my breath with his lips on mine. I understood things then that I never had before, and I felt I was safe at last. I raised my hand and pressed it against John's wet lashes until he could let me speak, and I was melted into his very breast itself. "There will be a post-mortem, of course," said Etwald, carelessly.
