Alessan, we are going to act?"
"We have already begunDucas and his men joined with us tonight in battleWe killed a number of Barbadians and a Tracker pursuing a wizard with us
"Ducas? That is who this is?" The old man gave a low whistle, a curiously incongruous sound"Now I know why he is afraidYou have your share of enemies in this village, my friend
"I am aware of that," said Ducas drily
"Rinaldo," Alessan said, "do you remember the siege of Borifort when Alberico first came? The stories about a red-bearded captain, one of the leaders of the Tregeans there? The one who was never found?"
"Ducas di Tregea? This is he?" Again the whistle"Well met cheap chanel purse then, Captain, though not, as a matter of fact, for the first timeIf I remember rightly, you were in the company of the Duke of Tregea when I paid a formal visit there some twenty years ago
