“Now, Simon, tell me why we’ve locked up those two,” Odo demanded. From inside, Roger and Alice could hear everything that was said.

Inside the tower Alice whispered, “Lord Raimond! Did you hear him, Roger? He said Raimond!”

“Shhhh! I don’t want to miss anything!” Roger lifted a finger to his lips.

Simon added, “The baron had a sister called Lady Blanche. And that’s who those two are, in there. Her children.”
