Kit twisted away from the knife again, but Skeres had a grip on his doublet now, and the breath went out of him as two men slammed him against the wall. Cloth shredded; the broken bottle slipped out of Kit's bloodied fingers as Frazier wrenched his arm behind his back.

Poley blasphemed. " Christ on the cross—"

Frazier swore too, shoving Kit's torn shirt aside to keep a grip on his flesh.

"God's wounds, it's a wench."

A lax moment, and Kit got an elbow into Frazier's ribs and a heel down hard on Poley's instep and his back into the corner one more time, panting like a beaten dog.

No route to the window. No route to the door. Kit swallowed bile and terror, tugged the rags of his doublet closed across his slender chest. "Unhand me."

"Where's Marley?" Poley said stupidly as Kit pressed himself against the boards.

"I am Marley, you fool."

"No wench could have written that poetry—"

"I'm no wench," he said, and as Frazier raised his knife, Christofer Marley made himself ready to die as he had lived, kicking and shouting at something much bigger than he.
