“The dying have some liberties, I think.” She paused a moment. “Of course I did not mean physically strike her, my lord. I meant hurt her heart. Maddie was in a sad state when I met her. Something awful’s happened to her. Can’t say for sure what, and I wouldn’t pry, but all’s I know is she’s vulnerable. Don’t give her more cause for pain.”

He nodded. “I see.” Although he wasn’t sure he did. Madeleine struck him as someone with confidence and plenty of common sense, not the wounded bird Gwenith painted. Yes, she had secrets she had yet to reveal, but he saw Madeleine as a very capable, talented woman.

He stared at Gwenith for a minute but could think of nothing else to say, so he rose. “Well, ‘tis a pleasure meeting you, Gwenith.”

She studied him a long moment before replying. “’Twas interesting meeting ye, my lord.”

Garrett removed himself quickly from the tent. He walked along the lane, buying a few trifles for Lissa from the sellers.

“Yes, tell us a story, dear!”

“Then we’ll just look a’ ye a bit,” yelled a happy drunk. The crowd hooted at his comment. Madeleine blushed prettily.
