He said no?"
"He said yesWe have six months and he will send the letters"He asked us to build a bonfire to his memory if he dies
Baerd suddenly turned his horse awayHe sat staring fixedly off to the westThe late-afternoon sun was shedding an amber glow over the heather and bracken of the hills
"I love that man," Baerd said, still gazing into the distance
"I know," said AlessanSlowly, Baerd turned back to himThey exchanged a look in silence
"Senzio?" said Baerd"You will have to explain to Alienor how to set up in the interceptionThese two will come west with meYou black and white chanel purses and Catriana and the Duke go north and then into TregeaWe start reaping what we've sown, BaerdYou know the timing as well as I do, and you'll know what to do until we meet again, who we'll want from the eastI'm not sure about Rovigo, I'll leave that to you
"I'm not happy about separate roads," Baerd murmured
