When at last they rose by some unspoken male accord, she noticed with a pang that Indio came only to Caliban’s waist. The man towered over the boy, so much taller and broader that his gentleness was a...
What, she barked, is that? We have a guest for supper tonight, Miss Stump replied, and as she glanced back at him he thought he saw a mischievous glint in her eye. Indio’s monster, in fact—though Indi...
What do you want? There was silence, broken only by a faint rustling. When he opened his eyes she was buttoning his banyan over her chemise. Nothing, I think, she said to her hands. Then, My freedom,...

This is my brother we’re talking about, Maximus. You’ll take his part before mine? Oh, he knew it was a mistake even before the words left his lips. Her shoulders squared. If I must. We shared a womb....
They had taken away something very important from him when he’d been made helpless. It should’ve broken him, being forced into chains. Yet it hadn’t. Even in her grief she was amazed. She framed his f...
