"That is well!" Eodwine exclaimed, and turned to the two artisans. "Do both of you agree?"
Garstan nodded, and Stigend, voicing his reservations briefly one more time, also gave his nod. Eodwine asked his steward and his apprentice-lady if they agreed, and they gave their nod as well.
"Would Modtryth be willing to walk the hallway between kitchen and Hall, do you think, Stigend?"
"I think she would, but she should give her own yes."
"Right you are! I will find her and see what she says."
The meeting broke up. Garstan and Stigend spent the rest of the day pouring over pages with lines that looked more and more like what the kitchen and hallway would be as the day wore on. Saeryn went in search of Degas, and Marenil worked on his list.
Late in the afternoon, Marenil came to Eodwine, sitting with Falco Boffin under the alder tree.
"Ah, Marenil!" Eodwine said, standing and smiling, "Come join us! Shall I have Kara bring you something to drink?"
