He attempted to grab her attention. “Excellent.” “And how precisely am I disturbing?” Another chuckle. “I acknowledge without objection the unrestricted ethics.” “Maybe it’s anything but you that inconveniences me,” he said. “Maybe it’s an absence of confidence in my separation.” “That is just a caring method of saying you don’t know of me.” “I assume.” They went to a curve that opened onto a huge empty chamber, where three men and a lady—Family individuals by their rich apparel—were standing 100 feet away or more in an elliptical island of light cast by two lamps. The lady was half-stripped, the bodice of her outfit down about her midriff, and the men were all part of the way stripped down. There was a demeanor of dismal balance to the scene, Beheim thought, as though it had been created for their advantage and was not a sexual episode that they had interfered with. It made him extremely uncomfortable. The lady enticed them, however, he was not at all enticed to acknowledge the greeting. “Do you remember anybody?” he asked Alexandra.
She considered them a second more. “Not at this distance. The man in the red tunic, however. That may be—” She severed, looked at them once more. “I can’t tell.” Once again the lady called. “Please. How about we let them have at it,” said Beheim. “Don’t you need to talk with them?” Alexandra inquired. “A gathering this huge, they’d just help each other’s untruths.” His feeling of anxiety developed further. He grasped Alexandra’s hand and started jogging along the passage, half hauling her along, looking back behind him. Alexandra looked alarmed, yet she didn’t attempt to pull free, nor did she object when Beheim started to run, driving them on a warped course through a labyrinth of passages; yet whenever they had quit running, she asked him what wasn’t right. “I had a feeling,” he advised her. “An inclination that they may be… I don’t have a clue. That they represented a snare or some likeness thereof.”
They had risen out of a hallway into a sinkhole, a spot cut from marble to take after a cavern, whose under end was lowered underneath a smallish lake, with generally slashed squares of marble dissipated about its anything but; a faded, somewhat blue-white light was given by the cave dividers, or all the more especially, by the radiant greenery that weaved pretty much every square inch of stone and glided in outside layers upon the dark water like scaled-down shining islands. One of the dividers was pierced by a sizable circular opening, huge enough to allow a man to stroll through without stooping; it’s anything but a perspective on some unpredictable iron hardware, colossal cogwheels, and driving bars and other new parts; through holes in the apparatus could be seen segments of a marble plain that inclined steeply vertically, in this way giving the presence of a perplexing riddle spread out on a white scenery with a few pieces missing. Generally speaking, the spot examined fey charm, and when Alexandra roosted on a marble block, drawing up her knees, resting her jawline consequently, she appeared to gain an emanation of illusion, to turn into an animal of that spot, a sprite or one of the Lorelei.
“A feeling,” she said nicely. “All in all, an inclination wherein you put your trust.” “I would have been a moron not to confide in it.” “Yet you don’t trust certain other of your sentiments. Or then again have you had a feeling concerning me?” “Barely. It’s simply I don’t feel on the strong ground with you.” He sat close to her; more profound in the cave, where the roof descended low and the dividers limited, something important and speedy was swimming just underneath the surface, making an undulating swell in the sparkling dark water, however, showing no segment of itself. “Regardless, it doesn’t make any difference.” “What doesn’t?” She attempted to cover a hesitant grin by bringing down her head. “You’re playing with me,” he said. She shrugged. “I’m attempting to convince you to mention to me your opinion, however, I’m not having a lot of achievement.” “I’m sure you understand my opinion,” he said eagerly. “I was pondering you and me. I was considering how it very well may be with us.”
