Chapter 21: The Strong Batch
The porter's lodging was two rooms over a chandler's shop at the bottom of Quay Lane.
He'd carried the foreman there himself, on a handcart, under a pile of sacks.
The foreman lay on the porter's own bed.
His face was purple and swollen shut on one side.
His wife sat on a stool beside him, holding a cup of water he couldn't lift.
A little girl in a too-big shawl sat on the floor in the corner with her knees up.
She was coughing.
"Miss," the foreman whispered when he saw me. "They didn't get it."
"Don't talk."
"Two of them. Livery under their coats. They cut my lining open." He tried to laugh and stopped. "Nothing in it but bread."
"Where's the book?"
His eyes went to the corner.
The little girl pulled her shawl tighter.
Under it, I could see the square edge of a green cloth cover.
"I gave it to her last night," the foreman said. "Before I went home. Nobody searches a little girl."
I knelt down in front of her.
"You've been very brave," I said.
She looked at my fingers.
"Are you the poison lady?"
