One morning, Huw got up and said that he should go to Londinium.

“Why?” asked Dera, frowning.

“I’m a trader, dear. I need to trade. I can buy stuff from the people here to take to trade, and I’m sure the folk in Eberacum will be grateful for some of the things I can get in Londinium. Look how anxious the people there were for things like wine and olive oil. If I can get some at a good price, then I’m sure I can sell it in Eberacum for a profit.”

“But what if you’re recognised as Maeve’s brother?”

“No one knew Maeve had a brother. Her work was secret.”

“Who knows what she told them under torture!”

Huw put an arm round his wife. “Look, Dera, I know you’re worried about it, but I’ll be very careful. If you like, I’ll go to Treavon and find out exactly what’s going on as regards our old enterprise. If there seems to be any danger whatsoever, then I’ll come straight back and do no trading at all … well, perhaps a little on the way.”

Dera gave up. She knew it was no use arguing with her husband if he had made up his mind. She turned to the cauldron hanging over the fire and stirred, saying, “Go then, but if you don’t come back all in one piece, then you’ll be in even smaller pieces when I’ve finished with you.”

Huw chuckled and ducked through the door to bargain for goods he thought people in Londinium might want.
