Meanwhile
a
new
piece
of
gossip
came
into
the
shop
.
The
King
had
quarreled
with
his
own
brother
,
Prince
Justin
,
it
was
said
,
and
the
Prince
had
gone
into
exile
.
Nobody
quite
knew
the
reason
for
the
quarrel
,
but
the
Prince
had
actually
come
through
Market
Chipping
in
disguise
a
couple
of
months
back
,
and
nobody
had
known
.
The
Count
of
Catterack
had
been
sent
by
the
King
to
look
for
the
Prince
,
when
he
happened
to
meet
Jane
Farrier
instead
.
Sophie
listened
and
felt
sad
.
Interesting
things
did
seem
to
happen
,
but
always
to
somebody
else
.
Still
,
it
would
be
nice
to
see
Lettie
.
May
Day
came
.
Merrymaking
filled
the
streets
from
dawn
onward
.
Fanny
went
out
early
,
but
Sophie
had
a
couple
of
hats
to
finish
first
.
Sophie
sang
as
she
worked
.
After
all
,
Lettie
was
working
too
.
Cesari
’
s
was
open
till
midnight
on
holidays
.
“
I
shall
buy
one
of
their
cream
cakes
,
”
Sophie
decided
.
“
I
haven
’
t
had
one
for
ages
.
”
She
watched
people
crowding
past
the
window
in
all
kinds
of
bright
clothes
,
people
selling
souvenirs
,
people
walking
on
stilts
,
and
felt
really
excited
.
But
when
she
at
last
put
a
gray
shawl
over
her
gray
dress
and
went
out
into
the
street
,
Sophie
did
not
feel
excited
.
She
felt
overwhelmed
.
There
were
too
many
people
rushing
past
,
laughing
and
shouting
,
far
too
much
noise
and
jostling
.
Sophie
felt
as
if
the
past
months
of
sitting
and
sewing
had
turned
her
into
an
old
woman
or
a
semi
-
invalid
.
She
gathered
her
shawl
around
her
and
crept
along
close
to
the
houses
,
trying
to
avoid
being
trodden
on
my
people
’
s
best
shoes
or
being
jabbed
by
elbows
in
trailing
silk
sleeves
.
When
there
came
a
sudden
volley
of
bangs
from
overhead
somewhere
,
Sophie
thought
she
was
going
to
faint
.
She
looked
up
and
saw
Wizard
Howl
’
s
castle
right
down
on
the
hillside
above
the
town
,
so
near
it
seemed
to
be
sitting
on
the
chimneys
.
Blue
flames
were
shooting
out
of
all
four
of
the
castle
’
s
turrets
,
bringing
balls
of
blue
fire
with
them
that
exploded
high
in
the
sky
,
quite
horrendously
.
Wizard
Howl
seemed
to
be
offended
by
May
Day
.
Or
maybe
he
was
trying
to
join
in
,
in
his
own
fashion
.
Sophie
was
too
terrified
to
care
.
She
would
have
gone
home
,
except
that
she
was
halfway
to
Cesari
’
s
by
then
.
So
she
ran
.
“
What
made
me
think
I
wanted
life
to
be
interesting
?
”
she
asked
as
she
ran
.
“
I
’
d
be
far
too
scared
.
It
comes
of
being
the
eldest
of
three
.
”
When
she
reached
Market
Square
,
it
was
worse
,
if
possible
.
Most
of
the
inns
were
in
the
Square
.
Crowds
of
young
men
swaggered
beerily
to
and
fro
,
trailing
cloaks
and
long
sleeves
and
stamping
buckled
boots
they
would
never
have
dreamed
of
wearing
on
a
working
day
,
calling
loud
remarks
and
accosting
girls
.
The
girls
strolled
in
fine
pairs
,
ready
to
be
accosted
.
It
was
perfectly
normal
for
May
Day
,
but
Sophie
was
scared
of
that
too
.
And
when
a
young
man
in
a
fantastical
blue
-
and
-
silver
costume
spotted
Sophie
and
decided
to
accost
her
as
well
,
Sophie
shrank
into
a
shop
doorway
and
tried
to
hide
.
The
young
man
looked
at
her
in
surprise
.
“
It
’
s
all
right
,
you
little
gray
mouse
,
”
he
said
,
laughing
rather
pityingly
.
“
I
only
want
to
buy
you
a
drink
.
Don
’
t
look
so
scared
.
”
The
pitying
look
made
Sophie
utterly
ashamed
.
He
was
such
a
dashing
specimen
too
,
with
a
bony
,
sophisticated
face
—
really
quite
old
,
well
into
his
twenties
—
and
elaborate
blonde
hair
.
His
sleeves
trailed
longer
than
any
in
the
Square
,
all
scalloped
edges
and
silver
insets
.
“
Oh
,
no
thank
you
,
if
you
please
,
sir
,
”
Sophie
stammered
.
“
I
—
I
’
m
on
my
way
to
see
my
sister
.
”
“
Then
by
all
means
do
so
,
”
laughed
this
advanced
young
man
.
“
Who
am
I
to
keep
a
pretty
lady
from
her
sister
?
Would
you
like
me
to
go
with
you
,
since
you
seem
so
scared
?
”
