Marjory made no comment but bade the lady farewell with as good a grace as she could muster and watched her walk off with Jane towards the town.

When they were gone Marjory left the parlour and made a swift reconnaissance of the hallway. The servants were all about their business. How glad she was that they were too occupied to pry into the business of their betters. She walked silently down the kitchen passage and out into the herb garden. John the gardener, she knew, was tending to the new knot garden at the east end of the house. There was nobody about as she let herself out of the wooden gate that led to the mill path. The mill, or what remained of it, smoked and smouldered in front of her. As she drew closer she could still feel the heat. She took up a half charred piece of wood and poked about in the rubble. How easy, she wondered, would it be to find a body after such a fire. Would it be recognisable? Would anything remain at all? She dug the wood into the blackened masonry. There was no sign of any human remains. But then, that might mean nothing.
