Will you kindly tell me what you have come about?" He, too, sat down, and, without looking at the other, began slowly to fill his pipe again, with his strong capable fingers. Laurie stared at the process, unseeing. "Just tell me simply," said the medium again, still without looking at him. Laurie threw himself back. "Well, I will," he said.
The queen moved away to the seat where Eadward had been sitting and took his place, staring out of the window with unseeing eyes. And I was glad that she was no longer beside us. Presently the king raised his head and turned it a little towards me. "Redwald," he said, "you were our companion in Normandy, and you are a trusted friend of ours.
