Monday: He closed
his eyes and sank for one moment into the memory of how honey-sweet
Marguerite’s lips had tasted at the fair. He was glad he had been allowed to
kiss her one last time.
Tuesday: Kit swore
and snarled and cursed as Robert wrenched at his wrist, smashed his hand

Thursday: It was his
only physical tie to his father, a tangible memory of his father’s love for his
mother that had embraced Robert, too, and held him warm and secure as a boy in
a world so bitterly uncertain and cold. What if when Robert let it go, the
memory of his father’s face and voice and smile and love went with it?

descending sword thrust before Richard pivoted out of the way and cast the case
off with a force that sent it and its precious contents banging against one of
the walls.
