He was led to the choir, and placed where Edmund had knelt by Edric's side some days previously. Edric saw him, and exchanged glances, after which the ealdorman looked uneasy. On the other side knelt the prisoner, with Elfwyn and Herstan on either side, and his colour heightened. Well it might. He had last seen that figure when he fought by Edmund's side at Penn. But it was not that meeting.
"If you are coming to explanations " says she softly, but with some intensity. "Have you explained things? And when? Was it before our marriage? It should have been, I think!" Rylton changes colour. It is such a sudden change that the girl goes over to him and lays her hand upon his chest.

Both Men and Women do wear large Ear-rings, made of that yellow Metal before mentioned. Whether it were Gold or no I cannot positively say: I took it to be so; it was heavy, and of the colour of our paler Gold.
