She turned the iron ring and pushed the door open, just a crack. “Sweetrobin?” she called. “May I enter?”
“Have a care, m’lady,” warned old Gretchel,
wringing1 her hands. “His lordship threw his
chamber3 pot at the maester.”
“Then he has none to throw at me. Isn’t there some work you should be doing? And you, Maddy . . . are all the windows closed and ttered? Have all the furnishings been covered?”
“All of them, m’lady,” said Maddy.
“Best make certain of it.” Alayne slipped into the darkened bedchamber. “It’s only me, Sweetrobin.”
Someone sniffled in the darkness. “Are you alone?”
“I am, my lord.”
“Come close, then. Just you.”
Alayne t the door firmly behind her. It was solid oak, four inches thick; Maddy and Gretchel might listen all they wished, but they would hear nothing. That was just as well. Gretchel could hold her tongue, but Maddy gossiped shamelessly.
“Did Maester Colemon send you?” the boy asked.
“No,” she lied. “I heard my Sweetrobin was
ailing5.” After his encounter with the chamber pot the maester had come running to Ser Lothor, and Brune had come to her. “If m’lady can talk him out of bed nice,” the
knight6 said, “I won’t have to drag him out.”
We can’t have that, she told herself. When Robert was handled roughly he was apt to go into a shaking fit. “Are you hungry, my lord?” she asked the little lord. “Shall I send Maddy down for berries and cream, or some warm bread and butter?” Too late she remembered that there was no warm bread; the kitchens were closed, the ovens cold. If it gets Robert out of bed, it would be worth the bother of
lighting8 a fire, she told herself.
“I don’t want food,” the little lord said, in a reedy,
petulant9 voice. “I’m going to stay in bed today. You could read to me if you want.”
