"The two figures were silhouetted against the stark rectangle of sky framed by the wide window. Drapes thrashed savagely in a trapped wind dashing at the room. Rigid as if the blood had frozen it in that position, one figure knelt over the other. The long silver knife was ready to plunge again: Now! Swiftly it was thrust into the astonished flesh. Again! Again! - seeking the heart. For moments it was difficult to determine the origin of the scream, which had suddenly stifled other sounds of frenzy within the palatial house. A scream welling like a siren struck momentarily mute, only to rise grasping at all sound - did it come from the kneeling figure rocking back and forth over the slaughtered body in a rhythm which was almost sexual, the brutal knife buried in a savage ceremony? Or did it come from the body on the floor - a final severed protest against the silver object raiding it? Perhaps the scream, already fading into a chanted moan shrouding the others, was a fusion from victim and victimizer." opening paragraphs, spelling and ellipsis as in original Secondhand booksellers |
