Kathy nodded dumbly, and bowed her head reverently. "May God forgive her," she intoned, hoping in an unChristian afterthought that "Will Flowers" might go directly to Hell.

With the distraction of the flogging spectacle over, and the audience dispersed, Kathy was once again overwhelmed by a need to scratch. She slipped one hand as surreptitiously under the robe's wide sleeve and scratched vigorously, starting at her wrist and continuing to scratch all the way up to her shoulder, stopping only when a passing shopper, thinking the good sister was suffering some sort of seizure, stopped to stare curiously and ask if she were feeling well. Unsure of the proper response, Kathy smiled in her most beatific manner, made the sign of the cross, and hurried away, crazed with a fresh wave of itching. She found an obscure and isolated spot behind a loaded hay wagon, lifted the rear of her skirt, and gave her bottom and thighs a good scratching, sighing with the blessed relief of it. At that very moment, two men stopped in front of the wagon and began to argue.

All Kathy could see, from her hiding place, were the men's boots, and the lower half of their legs. Only half-listening, and more concerned now with apprehending whatever it was that was crawling slowly up between her shoulder blades, she continued her search for vermin, until the man on the right raised his voice to be heard by his companion over the din in the street.

"Fool! They could have come no other way!" he snarled. "Everyone traveling north must come through this miserable mudhole! Had you kept your eyes on the gate, as I ordered, they couldn't have gotten past! My God, man, McGregor's unmistakable, in that foolish garb he wears, and with that mammoth, bloody horse!"

Katherine's hands flew to her mouth, and in one horrifying second, the terrible night of her parents' murder returned to her. Amidst the darkness and the terror and the flames, there had been one thing about that ghastly night that had etched itself in her memory, and remained there all these years as clearly as the small burn she carried on her wrist— the inhuman and transcendently evil Voice of the ruthless man who had come looking for her, after he had slaughtered her mother and father. On the other side of the hay wagon, she had just heard that malevolent Voice again, for the first time in more than twelve years, and it was as terrifying now as it had been then.

With her heart beating so loudly she was certain it could be heard by the two men, Katherine shrank against the wagon and tried not to scream aloud. Inside her head, however, the screams were deafening, drowning out all the sensible advice she might have given herself. Oddly, though, it wasn't fear of the man that was rendering her unable to move, or to think—it was her rage.

Her terror was made worse by the knowledge that Stephen and Duncan were in even greater danger than herself.
