“Who removed these Bite Bags?” Marmy's harried voice woke them suddenly. Dappled light streamed in through the windows. “Oh dear, I hope we haven’t caused more damage.” Marmy pulled back the blankets piled on top of Amber’s legs.

Tig was the first out of bed and he stood next to Marmy, trying to focus his eyes.

“How can this be?” Marmy looked up at Amber who had just started to stir. “Hmph, well it was rather late last night and there was so much excitement. But you shouldn’t have taken the boots off. If you truly had the Bite of Winter, you could have suffered more damage.” Marmy continued to mutter, having decided that she had been mistaken about Amber’s original condition.

“Oh my dears, you sure have made a mess. Look how that sap from the boots has gotten all over the bedding. That will have to be cleaned up.”

The boys looked at each other with raised eyebrows and giggled at Marmy’s tirade. The woman pulled the blankets back over Amber’s legs and looked down at the boys with a wide grin. “Ah yes, boys causing mischief. I’ve seen plenty of that in my day. Now, up with you all. There’s no time to be lying about. I’ve laid out clothing on the table and once you have changed, put your bedding into the hamper.” She pointed out the locations where these were to be found. “I have breakfast ready, so hurry.”

It didn’t take long to change into the provided clothing. Suede boots, dark green pants with a drawstring instead of a belt, and a puffy off-white long-sleeved shirt which fell loosely over the top of the jeans. There was a leather belt, but since the pants didn’t have belt loops, they carried the belts with them.

Sam pronounced, “We’re pirates,” as he examined the puffy sleeves and made a mock thrust with an invisible sword at Tig. They parried and thrust their weapons at each other as they climbed the stairs to the next level.

The room they entered was bright, cozy and smelled like a bakery. A well-padded bench followed the curve of the outer wall. In front of the bench was a long, narrow table that followed the same curve. Chairs and stools surrounded the table. The room was cluttered in a homey way. Every open space was packed with jars of honey, jam, vegetables, and grains.

Marmy happily whistled as she stood working at a stove on the opposite side of the room. “Sit anywhere and help yourself to milk. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. Oh, Amber? Could you ring the bell for me? It is just there by the shelf.”

Amber looked in the direction Marmy pointed and saw the end of a rope hanging through the top of the ceiling. “Yes, that’s it, dear. Give it a good pull, will you?” Amber did as instructed and heard the clear and bright ‘dong’ of a bell.

Soon, the room filled with small people. Tig recognized Tempra,
