Lydia
van
Bredevoort
,
Vilgefortz
's
assistant
and
personal
secretary
,
appeared
from
behind
the
curtain
like
an
ethereal
phantom
and
smiled
with
her
eyes
at
Tissaia
de
Vries
.
Tissaia
,
controlling
her
face
,
replied
with
a
pleasant
smile
and
bow
of
her
head
.
Artaud
Terranova
stood
up
and
bowed
with
reverence
.
He
,
too
,
controlled
his
expression
very
well
.
He
knew
Lydia
.
Two
servants
,
bustling
around
and
rustling
their
skirts
,
swiftly
lay
out
the
tableware
,
plates
and
platters
.
Lydia
van
Bredevoort
,
delicately
conjuring
up
a
tiny
flame
between
her
thumb
and
index
finger
,
lit
the
candles
in
the
candelabras
.
Tissaia
saw
traces
of
oil
paint
on
her
hand
.
She
filed
it
in
her
memory
so
later
,
after
supper
,
she
could
ask
the
young
enchantress
to
show
her
her
latest
work
.
Lydia
was
a
talented
artist
.
They
supped
in
silence
.
Artaud
Terranova
did
not
stint
himself
and
reached
without
embarrassment
for
the
platters
and
--
probably
a
little
too
frequently
,
and
without
his
host
's
encouragement
clanged
the
silver
top
of
the
carafe
of
red
wine
.
Tissaia
de
Vries
ate
slowly
,
devoting
more
attention
to
arranging
her
plates
,
cutlery
and
napkins
symmetrically
--
although
,
in
her
opinion
,
they
still
lay
irregularly
and
hurt
her
predilection
for
order
and
her
aesthetic
sensibility
--
than
to
the
fare
.
She
drank
sparingly
.
Vilgefortz
ate
and
drank
even
more
sparingly
.
Lydia
,
of
course
,
did
not
drink
or
eat
at
all
.

The
candle
flames
undulated
in
long
red
and
golden
whiskers
of
fire
.
Drops
of
rain
tinkled
against
the
stained
glass
of
the
windows
.
"
Well
,
Vilgefortz
,
"
said
Terranova
finally
,
rummaging
in
a
platter
with
his
fork
in
search
of
an
adequately
fatty
piece
of
game
.
"
What
is
your
position
regarding
our
monarchs
"
behaviour
?
Hen
Gedymdeith
and
Francesca
sent
us
here
because
they
want
to
know
your
opinion
.
Tissaia
and
I
are
also
interested
.
The
Chapter
wants
to
assume
a
unanimous
stand
in
this
matter
.
And
,
should
it
come
to
action
,
we
also
want
to
act
unanimously
.
So
what
do
you
advise
?
"
"
It
flatters
me
greatly
"
with
a
gesture
,
Vilgefortz
thanked
Lydia
,

who
was
offering
to
put
more
broccoli
on
his
plate
--
"
that
my
opinion
in
this
matter
should
be
decisive
for
the
Chapter
.
"
"
No
one
said
that
.
"
Artaud
poured
himself
some
more
wine
.
"
We
're
going
to
make
a
collective
decision
anyway
,
when
the
Chapter
meets
.
But
we
wish
to
let
everybody
have
the
opportunity
to
express
themselves
beforehand
so
we
can
have
an
idea
of
all
the
various
views
.
We
're
listening
,
therefore
.
"
If
we
've
finished
supping
,
let
us
go
through
into
the
workshop
,
Lydia
proposed
telepathically
,
smiling
with
her
eyes
.
Terranova
looked
at
her
smile
and
quickly
downed
what
he
had
in
his
chalice
.
To
the
dregs
.
