Chapter 24: The Long Road
The toll booth at Quillon bridge had a new board nailed to its front.
FOUR SILVER A WAGON, it said, in fresh black paint.
Under it, in smaller letters, it said BY THE HALL'S OWN ROLL, WHICH YOU MAY READ.
A young man in a gray smock leaned out of the booth with a roll under his arm.
I knew him by his ears.
He was the boy from the front of the line at the Hall.
He was the one who had raised his hand and said he counted eight.
"Twenty-two wagons for Harrow," Bran told him from the lead seat. "Army flour and salt, sealed by the quartermaster-general."
"Four a wagon, eighty-eight silver," said the boy.
"I'll show you the roll.
I'd be very glad if you checked it."
He handed it across.
I ran my thumb down it, and every line was warm and whole.
"It's right," I said.
"I know," said the boy, and went pink to the ears. "I did the sums three times.
Mage Dressler."
I looked behind me.
Nobody was there but Teo, on his gray mare at the back of the wagon, with a very straight face.
