Chapter 19: The Voice Above the Guests
The first guest to reach the great door of Lysseroth house handed Caerovan her wrap and walked on.
He stood holding it.
"Thank you, footman," she called over her shoulder.
He hung it on the nearest hook, and the next guest handed him a muff.
Ysmerelle watched from the stairs with her handbag on her arm and decided not to rescue him.
He had said he would hold the door, and he held it.
A third brass plate hung on the great door at knee height.
It said KINDLY OPEN FOR THE DUCK.
The engraver had copied the earlier plates, and Caerovan had decided to be consistent.
"Is that a mistake?" one guest asked him.
"It is," Caerovan said. "I'm not correcting it."
Ysmerelle crossed to him during a gap in the arrivals.
"Beside you, or at the stairs?" she asked.
"Wherever you'd choose to be," he said.
"The stairs."
"That's a good place."
She went because she wanted to, and he watched her go and did not call after her.
By seven the hall was full of people who had come to see what the Lysseroths would do.
