Again Boranova seemed to read Morrison's mind for vicars and when she spoke it was in a whisper. Since he was here, he might as well learn what he could, even if it should turn out to for vicars be trivial. This for vicars is a matter of security. Her cheekbones were high, her hands thin-fingered and graceful, and her expression did not appear as though she were much given to smiling.
Morrison smiled, however. “Who would believe that, you madman?”
