Eolair　hesitated。　〃Perhaps　I　would　be　better　off　finding　a　bed。　It　was　a　long　ride　today。〃
　　　　　　　Now　it　was　Simon's　turn　to　look　at　Eolair　carefully。　〃Forgive　me　if　I　am　speaking　out　of　turn；〃　he　said；　〃but　I　have　known　something　for　a　long　time　that　you　should　know　too。　I　would　have　waited　until　we　had　spoken　more；　you　and　I；　but　perhaps　it　would　be　best　to　tell　you　now。〃　He　took　a　breath。　〃I　met　Maegwin　before　she　died。　Did　you　know？　But　the　strange　thing　was　that　we　were　really　leagues　apart。〃
〃I　know　something　of　it；〃　said　the　Count　of　Nad　Mullach。　〃Jiriki　was　with　us。　He　tried　to　explain。　It　was　difficult　to　understand　what　he　meant。〃
　　　　　　　'There　will　be　much　to　talk　about　later；　but　here　is　the　one　thing　you　must　know。〃　Simon's　voice　dropped。　〃She　was　herself　at　the　last；　and　the　only　thing　she　regretted　leaving　was　you；　Count　Eolair。　She　loved　you。　But　by　giving　up　her　life　she　saved　me　and　freed　me　to　go　to　the　tower。　We　might　none　of　us　be　here　today…Erkynland；　Hernystir；　everything　else；　all　might　be　under　cold　shadows…were　it　not　for　her。〃
Eolair　was　silent　for　a　while；　his　face　expressionless。　〃Thank　you；〃　he　said　at　last。　A　little　of　his　brittleness　seemed　to　have　gone。
　　　　　　　Simon　gently　took　his　arm。　〃Now　e；　please。　e　and　join　us。　Up　the　corridor　you　have　a　room　full　of　friends；　Eolair…some　of　them　you　don't　even　know　yet！〃
　　　　　　　He　led　the　count　toward　the　dining　hall。　Firelight　and　the　sound　of　laughing　voices　reached　out　to　wele　them。
