Mithadan came to look in on his horse, and found Gamba miserably loitering in the stable aisle with his boys. Lindo and his boys were in eating breakfast already.

"Mithadan, can you take my boys in to Pio's building and get them some food? Please?" Gamba vehemently begged as soon as he saw the man.

"You can go in, " Mith replied.

"I can't, " Gamba said. "The window. Mom is going to be so upset."

Mith's eyebrows went way up.

"I can't fix it, " Gamba pleaded. "I -- I'd have to find an axe, cut down a tree, make the boards, then make the part that goes around the clear stuff-- and-- and I can't make the clear window part, I don't know how, " he wailed in despair. "She keeps telling me to be more responsible, and look what I've done! And to Piosenniel's house, of all people. Is--" Gamba gulped. "Mithadan, is it your house too? Did I break a part of your house too?"

Mithadan reached down, and simply picked Gamba up. "I think we need to go and find your mother, " he said. "Boys, don't you want something to eat?"

"Mith--" Gamba pleaded. "Put me down."

"Food for the boys, and you're going to talk to your mother, " Mithadan said firmly. "That's that. Now, you can walk, or I can carry you into the Inn-- Like this."

"I'll walk, " Gamba said, miserably.

"No bolting."

"No, sir."

"Chin up."

"Yes, sir."

"All right. March."
