Theodora came sweeping back into the room. From the way they are not reacting, the women of the village don’t recognise her… now are they reacting. This time she is dressed very much as Ayesha in her dancing clothes. Of course she is three hands taller than Ayesha and has quite pale skin, but really it is only her golden eyes above her veil that give her away. She went up to Rani, lifted her veil, and gave her a kiss before taking her seat.

There is scarce time for them to react before the food is out. Basil and Astrid are not used to being waited on, are they? As soon as they go to rise, two of the little girls pounce. It looks like they have ladies in waiting tonight. Another is before Hulagu and Ayesha and now here is mine, the oldest of the children, a Havenite lass who had not been in the procession and is dressed far more simply. Her name is Gurinder and she is quite shy. Rani and Theodora, of course, have Fear sitting at their feet. It looks like we will be eating mainly Caliphate food. That will be a relief for Ayesha and a new experience for most of the rest of us. Most of the meat seems to be goat or mutton…there is rice with nuts and fruit in it. Basil and Theodora know what it all is. They get to help their partners and point out things. Ayesha is doing the same for Hulagu…to the disgust of the Khitan women, who have taken a seat near the stage with Bianca. I get to find out for myself… Strange…but I like it. It is hard to eat hot food with your fingers though. I am glad of the bowl of rose water and the towel. I must not wipe my fingers on my robe. I suspect that this is not done.
