Explore "Rastignac the Devil" by Philip José Farmer on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There was another cell next to his. It was also at the bottom of a / well and was separated from his by a thin wall of cement. A window had / been set into it so that the prisoners could talk to each other. / Rastignac did not care for the woman who had been let down into the / adjoining cell, but she was somebody to talk to.
"Amphib-changelings" was the name given to those human beings who had / been stolen from their cradles and raised among the non-humanoid / Amphibians as their own. The girl in the adjoining cell, Lusine, was / such a person. It was not her fault that she was a blood-drinking / Amphib. Yet he could not help disliking her for what she had done and / for the things she stood for.
