She managed to overcome her repulsion and approached close, still
holding her own gun in readiness. And then, as Anthony had said, she
saw for herself. All along the neck were small pairs of wings, and
on the body two pairs of large ones. They were folded now, but their
nature was clearly visible. As if to leave her in no doubt whatever,
during one of the twitchings a pair on the body shuddered open, and
revealed a five-foot wingspread before it closed again.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Let's get into the house before we talk," replied Anthony, and they
withdrew quickly and were about to bolt the door once more.
