    Rose felt her knees shaking. Did he not love her after all?
    "Psst, Galen?" Pansy tugged on his arm. Galen leaned down. "If Rose doesn't want you," the little girl whispered loudly, "you can marry me."
    Galen laughed shakily. "Thanks, Pansy."

    “We startled some strange, long-necked shaggy creatures that had been grazing in the field, and I swear one of them spit at Feniul. Hagen slipped off of Leontes'neck and started to follow the creatures into the little copse of trees they had taken shelter in, fascinated, but I called him back.
    "They spit."I said. "They probably bite as well."
    "They are ill tempered things,"Amacarin agreed."But I saw someone riding one yesterday. It did not look like a smooth-gaited beast, though."
    Now there was even more longing in Hagen's face."
    Luka started laughing. "I shall buy you one when you finish your apprenticeship." He told my brother. "It can be your mastery gift. A hairy, spitting cow horse.”

    “You know how to steer a yacht?" Mr. McIntyre asked Ian worriedly.
    "I was born knowing how to steer a yacht," Ian said. Then a stricken look came over his face. "But–do you suppose Jonah prepaid the full amount for renting this? Once my dad hears what Natalie and I did, he'll cancel our credit cards."
    "You mean we're...we're poor now?" Natalie gasped.
    "Penniless," Ian said grimly.
    "Actually," Mr. McIntyre said, "I should have mentioned this before the others left. Grace had an addendum to her will regarding everyone who made it through the gauntlet. There were eight of you–you will all receive double the amount you turned down to get the first clue."
    "It was a million dollars originally," Ian said. "So Natalie and I each get two million dollars? I suppose we could live on that."
    Natalie beamed.
    "That is such a relief!" she said. "Being poor wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be, but still–"
    "You were only poor for about two seconds!" Dan protested, rolling his eyes.”
