The Vanishing Witch
“Beata ‘What are you two whispering about?’ I said, coming up behind Adam and Leonia in the yard.
Adam jerked away from the girl as if I’d caught them out in some mischief, but Leonia glanced up, a look of annoyance in her face, which plainly said, how dare I, a mere servant, interrupt her? She was as arrogant as her mother, not that Master Robert could see that. As far as he was concerned the girl pissed rosewater. It cut me to the quick to see the way he spoiled her, yet rarely spared so much ...as a kind word for his son, who’d lost mother and brother.
‘What’s that you got?’ I’d seen Adam push something hastily into Leonia’s hand. I’d not watched Jan grow up without learning that if a lad were concealing something, it was bound to be something he shouldn’t have. Adam glanced at Leonia, but neither child answered. I didn’t like it. Adam had always been such an open, honest boy, but in the past few weeks he’d become sly and secretive. I tried not to think badly of him.MoreLess
