Once more Drorathusa raised a hand, and this time she pointed into the misty distance.
"Le-prayl-ya!" she said.
Again her eyes were on Milton Rhodes, and, as she spoke that name, I saw in those wondrous orbs of hers one of the strangest looks that I have ever seen. I wondered if Rhodes too saw it. I found his eyes upon Drorathusa, but there was in them so abstracted an expression that I believed his thoughts were far away and that he had not noticed. When I turned to Drorathusa again, it was to find that that strange look was gone.
What a fascinating and mysterious creature this woman was!
"Lepraylya," she said again.
"Lepraylya," Milton nodded.
He looked at me.
"I wonder who or what this Lepraylya can be, Bill."
"King maybe."
"Queen, I hope," said Milton Rhodes.
