"What about" I almost say Ithal's name, but stop myself. Felicity's eyes are a warning.

"What about what?" Ann asks, puzzled.

"The men," I say, speaking deliberately to Felicity. "There are men in the camp. How will we make certain we're safe?"

"The men," Ann repeats solemnly. Men . How one small word could have so much current running through it

Felicity matches my tone, sending me her coded message. "I'm sure we can handle the men. You know how those Gypsies make up all sorts of lies. We'll just laugh along with them."

"I don't think we should go," Ann says. "Not without an escort."

"Oh, I agree," Felicity mocks. "Why don't you go in right now and ask Brigid to accompany us on a midnight run to the Gypsies? I'm sure she'd be most obliging."

"I'm quite serious."
