“No thief so skilled, surely,” said Boabissia, “would be with the refugees,” She continued to regard the trembling Feiqa balefully. “It must have been the slave. Let her be tortured.”

Feiqa moaned.

“It could not have been Feiqa,” I said to Boabissia. “Last night her hands were secured,” I reminded her, “chained behind her back.”

“Then who?” asked Boabissia.

“Perhaps you,” said Hurtha, coming up behind Boabissia and holding her by the upper arms, from behind. His grasp, I gathered, was not gentle.

“No,” said Boabissia. “No!” She squirmed. She was as helpless as a slave in Hurtha’s grip.

“Perhaps it is you who should be put under torture,” growled Hurtha.

“No, no!” said Boabissia. “I am free.”

“It would not be impossible for a skilled thief to be with the refugees,” I said. “It would be necessary only that he, or she, had been turned out of Torcadino with other citizens.”

“Do you know of such a person?” asked Hurtha.

“Yes,” I said.

“Who?” asked Hurtha.

“Wait here,” I said.

“Who?” asked Hurtha.

“One called Ephialtes, of Torcadino,” I said. “I was warned about him.”

“Let me come with you,” he said. “I shall break his neck.”

“That will not recover the letters,” I said. “Wait here.”

“Some of the carts, and many of the refugees, have already left,” said Boabissia, pulling her free of Hurtha’s hands, he loosening his grip. She was shaking. She was not accustomed to having been so helplessly in the power of a man, as helplessly, it might seem, as might have been a slave.

“Please, Mistress,” wept Feiqa. “I did not steal the letters. I could not have done so, even if I had dared to do so, which I would not in my life have dared to do. Do not ask to have Feiqa tortured. Please be kind to Feiqa.”
