“She might have been old once and now, miraculously, young again—but with the memory of that other life intact. She seemed to know the world down there in the dark hall and beyond for what it was. Yet knowing, she still longed to leave this safe, sunlit place at the top of the house for the challenge there.”

“Arrogance rides triumphantly through the gates, barely glancing at the old woman about to cut the rope and spring shut the trap.”
