Chapter 32: The Rent
The first supper at Voltraine Hall was set for the last night of the Thaw Festival, at the long table in the great kitchen.
Calista had asked for forty places.
By six o'clock there were more than a hundred people, and the blacksmith had gone for more benches.
The mill hands came in their work coats, with their wives and their children.
The players came with their paint still on their cheeks.
The old woman from the market cross came with her basket, and sat down at the head of a bench as though she had been born there.
The kitchen smelled of roast mutton, bread and woodsmoke, and the fire in the big hearth roared.
Ottilie carved, with a knife as long as her forearm, and sang while she did it.
Elowen went down the table with a jug of cider, and was stopped every three steps by someone who wished to shake her hand.
Evander sat at the table's corner, in his shirtsleeves, with a child on his knee who had stolen his spectacles.
"She will have them back," he said gravely to the child's mother, "when she has read me the first page of the Treasury code."
