The Tasters Guild (2010)
“Surely one can forgive, then, the distasteful temper that now settled upon Rowan Truax. He was certain in his gloom that Ivy was encouraging the cat—for Six was never far from her side, and he was almost certain the beastly pile of knots and tangles was stalking him.
But moods are just that, moods—often irrational and overpowering. He took no joy in the delicate little filament bulbs that clinked a fine tune, aflame along every available surface of the houseboat. He took no joy in anything, exc...ept perhaps solitude, wherein his mood roiled as they began their way along the ancient river, in the fading light, bound for lonesome ruins and low-lying cliffs.
Although the daylight was frail and anemic, Ivy’s mood was one of confidence and cheer. Seeing the taster alone, she occasioned to remark upon their method of transport.
“Didn’t Axle always say that to travel by houseboat is simply the very best way to see anything and everything at all?” she enthused.
Rowan, however, was not to be engaged on this topic—or any other, for that matter—and responded in his usual manner of late, with stony silence.MoreLess
