“Do you know where Melangell is buried?" Geoffrey was taken aback. "I... I do not know," he stammered. "I could not attend her funeral. My father ... well, you heard him. He'd never have stood for it..." His voice trailed off. He'd only gone a few feet when he stopped. "She should have been buried in Wales," he said softly, "for she loved it so ..." "Why," Luke asked, as they watched him go, "did you ask that?" "I was curious," Justin said. "I wanted to know if he mourned her." "And do you thin...k he does?"

"No," Justin said, somewhat regretfully, "probably not." Luke grinned. "By God, de Quincy, there is hope for you yet. So... now what?"
