No!” 212 From the shadows came one of the dark-smocked men and put another plate in front of Charles Wallace, and he began to eat eagerly. 213 “What’s wrong, Meg?” Charles Wallace asked. “Why are you being so belligerent and uncooperative?” 214 The voice was Charles Wallace’s voice, and yet it was different—too, somehow flattened out, almost as a voice might have sounded on the two-dimensional planet. 215 Meg grabbed wildly at Calvin, shrieking, “That isn’t Charles!
