    Summary

    She had let go of everything else; hope of a retrieval, hope of an apology, hope of seeing her sisters or her son again. It would be enough to know. She did not have to do anything with the knowledge. Ulis would understand. Surely he would.
    "To the best of your knowledge, Othala— is the Archduke Maia alive and safe?”
    Thara Celehar stared at her for a very long moment, his grip on her trembling fingers very firm. Then he said;
    “Sister— he is.”
    ---
    In a Thu-Tetar nunnery, the Dach'othalo asks a Sister of Ulis: Did you enter this place as Chenelo Drazharan?

    Summary

    Maia allowed himself one glance, which gave him a good view of, rather than Ciris’s expensive wallpaper, the determinedly neutral expressions of the emperor, Vedero, and Nazhira. They knew how thou wast living, he realised. They all knew. The emperor had said, we confess we know little of the circumstance, but there was a lot that one could contrive not to know if one was willing to put the effort in.
    “Thou’rt a Drazhadeise Archduke now,” Ciris said, with every appearance of a man sharing some sort of generous nicety. He clapped him on the shoulder with slightly excessive force, and beamed. “Shouldst try to enjoy it! Eh?”
    There was not, Maia found, a lot that one could say in response to that.

    Summary

    “My dearest Fanny!” William Price burst forth. “You will not believe it! I am to be a lieutenant. My friend Captain Linton has spoken for me. As soon as he is to have a ship I am to be his lieutenant!”

    It was impossible that Fanny’s spirits should be as high as his, but her felicity might well have surpassed his. She listened to him with tears of joy in her eyes and could not express her pride in his accomplishments nor her gratitude for this long-awaited promotion in terms warm enough to suit her feelings.

    William was jubilant. To Captain Marshall he had been a favourite in the way only a steady, dependable midshipman could be, but to Captain Linton he was a friend. Now at last he would be in the way to make his fortune. Never in his life had he felt such triumphant satisfaction and if only he would be granted an opportunity to introduce the Captain to his sister before they returned to sea, he would have nothing to wish for.
