Chapter 13: What the Lock Cost
I did not shout.
I had thought I would.
I stood in the library with a dead girl's diary against my chest, and the anger had gone cold and exact.
"Say it to me in order," I said.
"The church," said Magnus.
"The slip was read, and we smelled you across the hall.
"Wet slate and green smoke.
"All three of us."
"And then?" I said.
"Then I said we would keep what you wrote," Magnus said.
"And then you put me in a boat," I said.
"Yes."
"And then you put me in a room with a lock on it, and you let me think you were what the town says."
"Yes," Magnus said.
Rook made a sound by the door.
Magnus lifted two fingers without looking round, and Rook stopped.
I walked to the long table and set the diary down on it, square to the edge.
It was how I set down a ledger I meant to read in full.
"Five weeks," I said.
"I've been in your tower since the first week of November.
"I turned the lamp by hand until my palms split.
"I laughed.
"I took one of your brothers to bed on the twelfth night and another one on the sixteenth, and every time I said I would leave."
"Dally," said Ansel, very quietly.
"I'm not finished."
He shut his mouth.
"I did it because I thought you were the men who feed the town's women to the sea," I said.
"I want the sum, Magnus MacNaughton.
"I want you to hear what it came to from the woman it was done to."
