'My lady, a game, I beg?' said the shadow with the white face. The hall was always so dark, these days.
In earlier days, she had enjoyed their games of chess, had felt exhiliration at the challenge of penetrating his labyrinthine mind. It had never been easy. It had rarely been done. Now she looked at him with haunted eyes, and he with a yearning she could not but deny, and that was a game that they had played for what now seemed forever, with no end yet in sight.
'Certainly, my lord.'
Even this match was only another move.
