Magic Can Be Murder
“But two days of almost steady walking and near-constant fear, separated by only one short night of rest in the silversmith's house, had left her drained, And obviously, she chided herself as she accidentally strayed off the path and stepped calf-deep into a cold stream, making one bad decision after another. Her legs wobbling under her. It would be safer, she told herself, to rest during the darkest part of che night. Arriving in Haymarket at dawn couldn't be that much better than arriving midm...orning, while arriving too exhausted to think straight would be considerably worse.
As she lay down in a grassy hollow formed between the massive roots of a huge oak, she just hoped that the situation wasn't already far beyond what she and her wits could handle.
*** WHEN SHE AWOKE it was dawn, which was later than she had planned, and it was raining.
Last chance, she told herself, as her skirt flapped in the wind. This is the last sensible time to change your mind and go back to the tavern, fetch Mother, and make a run for it.MoreLess
