We shouldn't wake it, but there might be others in its presence that would be willing to grant us an audience, she lied casually, hurrying her pace. Ghosts tended to be fast-moving, so she needed to catch one by surprise if she planned on catching one at all. She hadn't been worried before--their travel party had been reasonably quiet--but Desdemona's sudden nervous breakdown was making too much noise to do any surprising. Irritated, Golem pushed on even faster, nearly leaving the two behind in the cold and dark.
