“Caradoc smiled and nodded genially to his father and said, ‘I trust you sought Odras’ permission before you used her mark?’ ‘Of course. Heffydd dreamed it and we took her the outlines before the stamp was cut.

You should have asked me and I would have told you it for nothing. I had thought you were paying for the whelp. It will be a good one, worth the price.
