I saw blossoms of pink and red and white which I never forgot. Later, Merrick and I walked in the garden, which was filled with lush beautiful dark-leafed camillias, which thrive in the winter, even through light frost. The world of solid things and spiritual things flickered and went out. When it was clear that he meant to force me, I fought him with all I had.Ībsolutely, I said.But you must promise me, that if you ever change your mind about the mask, you'll call me before you take even the simplest steps. I felt invincible in my new young body and I had no thought to ask Lestat for eternal life. It was after our dreadful ordeal with the Body Thief. All was kept in storage at Oak Haven, with access only allowed to Merrick or to me.Īs you well know, I was no longer the elder David.

There is not a great deal more to be said. Insofar as I ever knew, Merrick was faithful to her vow.īut let me finish my tale of Merrick. I had done it fiercely and selfishly, and though the illness had burnt away much of my desire to explore the mystery of the cave, I feared the spirit's return. I had robbed a place that was precious to him. As a matter of fact, I did see this spirit again.Īs for my personal reaction to the spirit, I was afraid of him. ![]()
