While waiting for Nuala to arrive and rule on cause of death, Mara tries to find out if the boat was the same one she saw 3 days before on the dunes. Only Slevin an intelligent student confirms that a boat was there. He also states that Domhnall remembers one too, but he was sent for Nuala.

Mara and her scholars ask more questions about the murdered merchant. The result is more answers that prompts ever further questions. It seems that Fernandez O'Connell organised the blank and silent treatment that was first met and perhaps even the staging of the body.

More searching for the source of the golden jewellery, motive and student teaching. Mara finds a ring but not source of treasure. She plans on Galway trip to speak with the mayor about the victim and a possible future for Finbar who failed his exams a second time. Finbar has a beautiful script and draws.

In an effort to find a motive Mara visits Ardal O'Lochlainn, chieftain of the O'Lochlainns, uncle to Nuala and friend of hers. Ardal does. Niall Martin, goldsmith, was looking for ancient Irish golden treasure at Fanore, which means the slope of the gold.
