And through the heat of the first real hatred she had ever felt for him , came the cold touch of poise in the act of betrayal , and she knew with a twisted thrill what it was to surrender to Evil . ` But if you 're really worried , ' she said placidly , ` Wait for me at the Vale of the Obelisk . I 'll meet you there at noon , to tell you of our love-making . And then we 'll say goodbye , forever . ' She strode out , and left him shaking . He fell to his knees and wept , much as William had screamed , to find his lover dead .
