ping the carrots into a clay bowl。
       The meal had not been anything either of them would remember fondly�察�but Miriamele felt better for having something hot in her stomach。 When she had rinsed the bowls and scoured them with a dry twig�察�she put them away�察�then crawled onto her bedroll。 Simon fussed with the fire for a bit�察�then laid himself down as well。 They spent a silent interval staring at the flames。
       ;There was a fireplace m my bedroom at Meremund�察─�Miriamele said quietly。 ;I used to watch the flames dancing at night when I couldn't sleep。 I saw pictures in them。 When I was very little�察�I thought I saw the face of Usires smiling at me once。;
       ;Mmmm�察─�Simon said。 Then�察 �You had your own room to sleep in�拭�
       ;I was the only child of the prince and heir�察─�she said a little crisply。 ;It is not unheard of。;
       Simon snorted。 ;It's unheard of by me。 I slept with a dozen other scullions。 One of them�察�Fat Zebediah�察�used to snore like a cooper cutting slats with a handsaw。;
       Miriamele giggled。 ;Later on�察�in the last twelvemonth when I lived in the Hayholt�察�Leieth used to sleep in my room。 That was nice。 But when I was in Meremund�察�I slept by myself�察�with a maid just on the other side of the door。;
       ;That sounds 。。。 lonely。;
       ;I don't know。 I suppose it was。; She sighed and laughed at the same time�察�a funny noise that made Simon lift his head beside her。 ;Once I was having trouble sleeping�察�so I went in to my father's room。 I told him that there was a cockindrill under my bed�察�so that he would let me sleep with him。 But that was after my mother died�察�so he only gave me one of his dogs to take back with me。 'He's a cockindrill´hound�察�Miri��' he said to me。 'By my faith�察�he is。 He'll keep you safe。' He was always a bad liar。 The dog just lay by the door and whimpered until I finally let him out again。;
       Simon waited for a while before speaking。 The flames made jigging shadows in the thatching overhead。 ;How did your mother die�拭─�he asked at last。 ;No one ever told me。;
       ;She was shot by an arrow。; Miriamele still hurt when she thought of it�察�but not as badly as she once had。 ;Uncle Josua was taking her to my father�察�who was fighting for Grandfather John along the edge of the Meadow Thrithing during the uprising there。 Josua's troop was surprised in broad daylight by a much larger force of Thrithings´men。 He lost his hand defending her�察�and did succeed in winning free�察�but she was struck down by a stray arrow。 She was dead before sunset。;
       ;I'm sorry�察�Miriamele。;
       She shrugged�察�even though he could not see her。 ;It was long ago。 But losing her gave my father even more misery than it gave me。 He loved her so much� �Oh�察�Simon�察�you only know what my father has bee�察�but he was a good man once。 He loved my mother more than he loved anything else in the world。;
       And thinking other father's gray�察�grief´stricken face�察�of the pall of anger that had descended on him and never lifted�察�she began to cry。
;And that's why I have to see him�察─�she said finally�察�her voice unsteady。 ;That's why。;
       Simon rustled atop his bedroll。 ;What�拭�What do you mean�拭�See who�拭�
Miriamele took a deep breath。 ;My father�察�of course。 That's why we're going to the Hayholt。 Because I have to speak to my father。;
;What nonsense are you talking�拭─�Simon sat up。 ;We're going to the Hayholt to get your grandfather's sword�察�Bright´Nail。;
       ;I never said that。 You did。; Despite the tears�察�she felt herself grow angry。
       ;I don't understand you�察�Miriamele。 We are at war with your father。 Are you going to go see him and tell him there's a cockindrill under your bed again�拭�What are you saying�拭�
       ;Don't be cruel�察�Simon。 Don't you dare。; She could feel the tears threatening to bee a torrent�察�but a small ember of fury was burning inside her as well。
       ;I'm sorry�察─�he said�察 �but I just don't understand。;
       Miriamele pressed her hands together as tightly as she could�察�and concentrated on that until she felt herself in control again。 ;And I have not explained to you�察�Simon。 I'm sorry�察�too。;
       ;Tell me。 I'll listen。;
       Miriamele listened to the flames crackle and hiss for a while。 ;Cadrach showed me the truth�察�although I don't think he realized it。 It was when we were traveling together�察�and he told me of Nisses' book。 He had once owned it�察�or a copy of it。;
;The magical book that Morgenes talked about�拭�
       ;Yes。 And it is a powerful thing。 Powerful enough that Pryrates learned that Cadrach had owned it and so Pryrates。。。 sent for him。; She fell silent momentarily�察�remembering Cadrach's description of the blood´red windows and the iron devices with the skin and hair of the tortured still on them。 ;He threatened him until Cadrach told him all the things he remembered�察�Cadrach said that Pryrates was particularly interested in talking with the dead´'Speaking through the Veil��' he called it。;
       ;From what I know of Pryrates�察�that doesn't surprise me。; Simon's voice was shaky�察�too。 Obviously he had his own memories of the red priest。
       ;But that was what showed me what I needed to know�察─�Miriamele said�察�unwilling to lose the thread of her idea now that she was finally talking about it out loud。 ;Oh�察�Simon�察�I had wondered so long why my father changed the way he did�察�why Pryrates was able to turn him to such evil tasks。; She swallowed。 There were still tears standing wet on her cheeks�察�but for the moment she had found a new strength。 ;My father loved my mother。 He was never the same after she died。 He did not marry�察�did not even consider it�察�despite all the wishes of my grandfather。 They used to have terrible arguments about it。 'You need a son to be your heir��' Grandfather used to say�察�but my father always told him he would never marry again�察�that he had been given a wife and then God had taken her back。; She paused�察�remembering。
       ;I still don't understand�察─�said Simon quietly。
       ;Don't you see�拭�Pryrates must have told my father that he could talk to the dead´that he could let my father speak with my mother again�察�perhaps even see her。 You don't know him�察�Simon。 He was heartsick with losing her。 He would have done anything�察�I think�察�to have her back�察�even for a little while。;
       Simon drew in a long breath。 ;But that's 。。。 blasphemy。 That's against God。;
       Miriamele laughed�察�a little shrilly。 ;As if that would have stopped him。 I told you�察�he would have done anything to have her back。 Pryrates must have lied to him and told him that they could reach her。。。 beyond the Veil�察�or whatever that horrible book called it。 Maybe the priest even thought that he could。 And he used that promise to make my father first his patron�察�then his partner。。。 then his slave。;
       Simon pondered this。 ;Perhaps Pryrates did try�察─�he said finally。 ;Perhaps that is how they reached through to。。。 to the other side。 To the Storm King。;
       The sound of this name�察�even as quietly it had been spoken�察�was greeted with a skirl of wind in the thatches above�察�a rush of sound so abrupt that Miriamele flinched。
       ;Perhaps。; The thought made her cold。 To think of her father waiting eagerly to speak with his beloved wife and finding that thing instead。 It was a little like the terrifying old story of what the fisherman Bulychlinn brought up in his nets。。。。
       ;But I still don't understand�察�Miriamele。; Simon was gentle but stubborn。 ;Even if all that is true�察�what good will it do to speak to your father�拭�
;I'm not sure it will do any good。; And that was true�此�it was hard to picture any happy result from their meeting after so much time and so much anger and sorrow。 ;But if there's even a small chance that I can show him sense�察�that I can remind him that this began out of love�察�and so convince him to stop 。。。 then I have to take that chance。; She lifted a hand and wiped at her eyes�此�she was crying again。 ;He just wanted to see her。。。。; After a moment she steadied herself。 ;But you do not have to go�察�Simon。 This is my burden。;
       He was silent。 She could sense his disfort。
       ;It is too great a risk�察─�he said at last。 ;You might never get to see your father�察�even if that would do any good。 Pryrates might catch you first�察�and then no
