Chapter 20: The Silversmiths' Table
Every face left at the round table turned to me.
I came forward until I stood at Petra's shoulder.
"It works like this," I said to Fintan. "Your family signs something. Then it has to live with what it signed."
"She hasn't signed anything."
"No," I said. "Only you have."
Petra put her arm through mine.
We walked out of the green dining room together, past the porter, down the steps into the rain on the Green.
She didn't let go of my arm until the corner of Grafton Street.
On Tuesday night the workshop smelled of chips.
Cian had come up the back stairs at eight with four bags from the chipper on Wexford Street, his assistant's car keys in his teeth.
The nine benches had been pushed together down the middle of the room into one long table.
Somebody had put a sheet over the leather skins. Somebody else had found candles.
The silversmiths had brought the rest. A crate of beer. A loaf of soda bread.
