IT’S GOTTA BE you, Evvie Duchen, Evvie the Sparrow. Lady Sparrow, Liu calls you. Don’t think of Liu, it hurts. You gotta do it all, because when it comes down to it, you’re the only person... not the only person you got, that’s not fair to Mama or to Beth. But the only person you got a right to ask it of.

If only Liu was here.

But Liu wasn’t here, and it was down to Eveline. She took a deep breath. There was a bit from a play she’d heard, working pockets at the theatre. She’d liked the plays and almost let herself be distracted. Some fella in shiny armour, saying, “Once more unto the breach,” and lots of stuff about it piling up with dead. Of course, him being the king, he wasn’t that likely to get dead – kings on the battlefield didn’t, so far as she could tell. It was the poor buggers without the fancy armour that got dead.

“Once more unto the breeches, eh, Eveline,” she said, tugging on her working trousers, and managing a small, lonely snort of laughter at her own joke.

Hair pulled back, pinned, tucked under the cap. Boots that looked too big but actually fitted well – Evvie, having done without decent footwear for so long, loved her various boots with a fierce passion. These were padded, flexible, and soft-soled, excellent for night-time work but scruffy looking to go with her starveling appearance.
