Quin felt just a bit sheepish after asking Léof to stay inside. Indeed, if Léof had objected or said a word about going, Quin would have changed his mind and told him to come along anyway. But Léof didn’t say anything. He just stood there, and he was still standing there when Quin looked back from the kitchen door. He felt another twinge of guilt about asking Léof to stay, but ignored it and went into the kitchen.

The room was empty. He walked across to the outer door and opened it to go out and nearly ran directly into the young woman whom he sought. She was not alone, though, as he expected – Hilderinc was there talking to her.

“Oh, I beg your pardon,” he said. “I didn’t know you were out here. I mean, I didn’t know you both were out here talking. Did you know they’re dancing inside?”
