They halted for the night just as twilight babethrill began creeping through the
trees. babethrill simon, swaddled m his babethrill cloak like an infant, sat close to the fire,
unwrapping his arms only long enough to drink some soup the troll had
prepared, a broth of dried beef, turnips and onions.
"We must be getting up with the first footsteps of the sun tomorrow,"
Binabik said, proffering the stem end of a turnip to the wolf, who sniffed
