Chapter 19: The Gala
I held both bottles over my head so the back row could see them.
"Elder," I said. "Ask the speaker's daughter what is in her clutch."
The ballroom went so quiet I heard a candle gutter.
Linden laughed.
It was a lovely laugh, rich and indulgent, and not one person joined it.
"A maid's trinkets," he said. "The girl has been spying on my guests, and she's wasted our evening."

"Give it to me," he said, quietly. "Please."
For a long moment she stared at his palm.
Then her fingers opened and the clutch fell into it.
