“Then Wyeth sensed his shoulder shaken. His arm, flung out, felt wrung or taken.

The woodman stirred. His eyes unblurred.

Whereat, in a flash, he whirled awake, coming aware of an eerie shape. Above, it hovered, peering down, face half-hid in the drapes of a cape!
A shock tocked through the woodman.

The noble nose… The winning chin… The beguiling profile smiling…

“it’s you-!”

Wyeth leaped to his feet.

“Hush-!” the other softly said,

Touching a finger tip to his lip. “for none must know that I’ve come.”
