It took some while for Virginia Hector to comprehend the nature of her daughter's misunderstanding, which was of course quite apparent to me; whatwasn't evident however, even when her mother made it clear that she'd been speaking of a male child, the GILES Himself, I was pleased to see Anastasia question next: how came it that she had been spared, and I condemned? Miss Hector grew vague; seemed not readily to understand the question. . .
"It had to be twins you had, didn't it?" Anastasia persisted. "Uncle Ira never mentioned any brother of mine -- I see why, now! -- but he always liked to tell how he'd helped deliver me himself. . ."
"Well. Yes. Naturally." But Miss Hector's tone bespoke a fuddledness.
"Then how come we weren'tboth EATen?"
Instead of replying directly to the question, Lady Creamhair declared sharply that no one had been EATen: the whole hope of her strategy, she said, was that WESCAC would recognize its own and not only desist but contrive my preservation when she restored me to it.
