He could hardly believe what he was hearing. Hadn’t he seen the gin-soaked wretches today? Could his father really have been involved in such a thing? He had admitted to it, but if he said he regretted it, that he no longer dealt in such things, Hector believed him. As for the amount Truepin demanded, it was substantial, drop in the ocean or not. ‘Don’t pay,’ he urged silently. ’ His father paced behind the desk in an agony of indecision. Truepin looked on, his face immobile. Finally Augustus turned and Hector’s heart sank when he saw his expression.
He was poisoned by the water and is now abed day and night. ’ Polly shrugged. ‘I think it is to do with her son, Ludlow. No one has seen him for years. Oddly enough, he lived in Pagus Parvus himself for a while when I was there. I suspect the Fitches treated him cruelly, but he never did tell me why he left Urbs Umida. Now Mrs Fitch has visions telling her that she must save the children. Every day nearly. ’ Polly lifted the latch on a small door to her right. It was only just as high as Hector.
But he did not feel excitement nor did he feel alive, only half dead and afraid. Earlier that day he had left for the last time the wide, well-lit streets and the tended squares of the north. He had passed the lines of shining carriages waiting outside the theatres and restaurants (where once Fitzbaudly wines had been served nightly) to cross the Bridge once again. And now, with his father dead and buried, he felt only disbelief and numbness. Unhesitatingly he walked on through the misty rain. He heard not one of the cries for help from the wretches all around.
