Ramsey laughed harshly and said nothing. That gave Margot something to
think about. Maybe it would keep her thoughts out of his mind, keep her
from reading....
X marks the spot, thought Ramsey. XXX marks the spot-spot-spot. X is a
spot in a pot or a lot of rot....
"Oh, stop it!" Margot cried irritably. "You're thinking nonsense."
"Then get the heck out of my mind," Ramsey told her.
Vardin walked on without speaking. If she had any inkling of what they
were talking about, she never mentioned it.
