They looked at each other for a long moment_then broke into only slightly hysterical laughter.
"Trevandia it is!" Kestrel said, when they could catch their breath. "As soon as we get the wagon."
There was a growling sound in the distance_growing nearer. It was that of an angry crowd returning.
"How about now?" Robin asked, innocently.
He did not bother to reply; only seized her hand. Together they ran out into the square, and did not stop running until they were past the gates of Gradford_and they did not once look back.
