Chapter XIII
"I WILL NOT SING" "I will not sing--it's no use, I will not." Al'mah's eyes were vivid with anger, and her lips, so much the resort of humour, were set in determination. Her words came with low vehemence. Adrian Fellowes' hand nervously appealed to her. His voice was coaxing and gentle.
