Chapter 22: My Father's House
My father's house had a boundary stone at the gate, carved with his mark and polished by his hand.
I walked past it at breakfast time and didn't knock.
They were at the table in the courtyard under the vine.
My father in his old brown robe, with bread in his hand.
My stepmother across from him in grey silk, pouring.
She set the jug down when she saw me.
"You weren't invited," she said.
"I was born here," I said. "Where's Ismene?"
"I told your little priestess. She's gone to the earth."
"Ismene can't light a fire without a maid," I said.
"She hates the cold, and she hates fish, and she's never walked further than the Sun House in her life. Where is she?"
"Grief does strange things."
"Grief?"
"She's ruined, Nysa." My stepmother's voice rose.
"You saw to that. Her hand is black. Nobody on the Heights will have her now. So she went where nobody knows her face."
The servants had come to the kitchen door to listen.
