Chapter 24: The Cells
I didn't eat anything.
I walked the commander back to the palace through the frost, with Prue on his other side holding up her green velvet sleeve.
Nobody stopped us.
Gareth had the one he wanted.
In the east wing, my grandmother took one look at the commander's face and put the kettle on.
Prue cleaned the cut on his cheekbone.
He let her. He kept his greatcoat on.
"Take that off," Prue said. "It's got half a coal cellar in it."

He took the coat off, laid it across his knees, and held out his hand.
"Shears," he said.
He turned up the hem at the back, where the coat was heaviest, and cut six stitches that weren't Prue's.
Something small and hard slid out into his palm, wrapped in a scrap of oilcloth.
A brass disk, cut with a wolf's head over crossed spears.
Folded under it was a single sheet of paper, gone soft at the creases.
"The sixth raid," he said. "In Stowe's own hand."
My grandmother leaned over and read the last line aloud.
