There was iron in the horse's bit, in the lock on the door, in the nails that held furniture together, in the sheathing that covered the roof.
The conqueror had paused to cleanse his sword upon the same divan Demetrios had occupied when Melicent first saw the proconsul; and as Perion turned, in the act of sheathing his sword, he perceived the dear familiar denizen of all his dreams.
