Longsword (2014)
“By leaning out he could catch sight of the windows in the round tower nearby. There was a light still burning in the chamber where the deaf and dumb boy fought for his life … with Beata holding him, bathing his forehead, caressing him all the time … how many days since she had walked in the sunlight, ridden out into the country?
Gervase leaned his forehead against the edge of the shutter for a moment before closing it once more. He felt dull and heavy. For some reason he had been thinking much ...of his uncle of late, remembering the bluff manner which concealed kindness, Lord Escot’s hearty sneezes, and his loud laughter. … “I am poor company tonight, I fear,” he said to Telfer. Telfer continued to massage his right ankle, and look into space. There was a feeling of tension in the air. Gervase believed it came from him, and did not blame Telfer for it. Beata: her courage, her wildness in grief, and rebellion – her love for Hamo and for her father, a father who had disposed of her life as casually as Crispin had thought to dispose of the dog, Flash.MoreLess
