There is a strategy game some like to play with stones upon a board, though I’m afraid I’m not much of a hand at it. And as you say, sometimes there is singing – and dancing if a particularly merry mood strikes the hall.”

Léof grinned. “I suppose so. It will be nice to have some celebration tonight, if the meetings with the landlords go well. Since Lord Eodwine took sick, everyone’s been more subdued than usual.”
