and Delya joined her. They found a bench by the public fountain and sat down to watch the water
splashing in the moonlight. Although Delya was smiling, a little flushed from the wine and humming a tune
under her breathтАФin fact, she never did add a word to that entire conversationтАФKeeta looked
downright melancholy.

тАЬAh, well,тАЭ she said at last. тАЬAt least Salamander looks like heтАЩll make her a better husband than most.тАЭ

тАЬOh, he certainly will,тАЭ Jill said. тАЬIтАЩve known him a long time, and I can honestly say that.тАЭ

тАЬGood. By the way, has he mentioned anything about going to Anmurdio to you?тАЭ

тАЬOh, yes. What do you think of the idea?тАЭ

тАЬItтАЩs a good one. The towns over there are so starved for a good show that we should do really well.тАЭ

тАЬWell, thatтАЩs a relief. I didnтАЩt want to drag the rest of you along only to have it turn out to be a disaster.тАЭ

тАЬWhat I donтАЩt understand, frankly, is how there could be any rare books and things over there for you to
find.тАЭ

Jill fell back onto a version of the truth.

тАЬThere may not be any, indeed. But a long time ago there was a horrible war in the country adjoining our
kingdom, and a large band of refugees fled south. Now, they didnтАЩt settle in Bardek proper nor here in
Orystinna. What IтАЩd like to know is where they did end up, and what books they brought with them
when they fled.тАЭ

тАЬI must say that you people seem to have a ghastly lot of wars.тАЭ

тАЬWell, yes, IтАЩm afraid so.тАЭ

Keeta glanced at her companion and suddenly smiled. тАЬDelly, youтАЩre just about asleep. Want to go
back?тАЭ

тАЬMph?тАЭ Delya woke with a start and yawned. тАЬIтАЩm fine.тАЭ

тАЬI think weтАЩd best get back.тАЭ Keeta got up and held out a hand. тАЬCome along.тАЭ

With a nod and apologetic smile in JillтАЩs direction, Delya rose and allowed herself to be led off to camp.
Jill considered going, too, then decided to sit in the cool and moon-shot dark for a while. Not only did all
the noise and rireтАЩs heat seem a burden, but she was hoping that Dallandra would come through into the
physical plane again. Ever since Dalla had appeared to her with Elessario along, Jill had been trying to
puzzle out her cryptic last words, which sheтАЩd heard only as тАЬislands Evandar.тАЭ Whether тАЬEvandarтАЭ was
the name of the islands where the refugees had settled or of some person, she simply didnтАЩt know. Yet,
though she waited there for hours, the elven dweomerwoman never returned.
