He stood in front of it for many minutes, in silence, and Jethro watched him. At last he turned. "Where is she?" he asked.

"I wonder if Squire Clamp" The blacksmith nodded, with a gesture towards his children, as though he would not have them hear. "Yes," he added, in a low tone, "I g-guess that is it."
