CHAPTER 9

第九章

Grace "Who are you?" asked Lucas, not knowing where else to begin. The woman turned toward the children. "Oh, please forgive me," she said. "My name is Grace." Clara took a step toward Grace. "And what do you want with the pegasus?" she asked. Grace looked at the great cloud in the sky and then back at Clara.
