Betuli had left the room to Diorwyn, without her dress. When she found out she was quite embarrassed. She ran over again and got her dress back. Diorwyn the seamstress had sewed some nice stitches where the large split had been earlier that same day. The dress was now as good as new.

In the evening Betuli, as planned, "sought one of the servants.

"Hi," Betuli said in kind voice as she reached the servant.

"Hello," answered the servant politely.

"How have you been?" Betuli asked after a moment with silence from both. "It's been quite some time since I've seen you." She continued.

"Yes, well, there are a much going on in these days. Today was the luncheon..." The servant said.

"Yes, you have a point there, I have been very busy myself lately. Duties are always calling..." Betuli said, interrupting the servant.

Betuli went quiet for a while, listening to the servant. She was beginning to get bored when she heard Finduilas name.

"What did you say?" She asked impatiently.

"You know the rumours, don't you?" The servant said. Betuli gave some short nods.

"So, where did you hear those rumours?" Betuli asked, she seemed excited and anxious to get the answer. Suddenly she noticed that she had been stearing in the floor for quite some time. She pulled herself together and looked up at the servant, waiting for the answer.

The answer, however, never came. The servant had rushed over in the other direction, screaming to Betuli that they'd have to talk later.

"Later?" She yelled back in a frustrated voice. "Later.....Later?" she muttered a bit angry.
