CHAPTER TWELVE
Vargas was the first to speak up after the Tenky had vanished. “My word, but what a bold one he is!”
Ware shoveled some more of the food into his mouth before he nodded. “Quite.”
She frowned at him. “And as bad a table manner as someone I know.”
“Quite,” came the tart reply.
“What was that about a missing Tenky?” Allard spoke up, staving off the coming storm that brewed over Vargas’ head.
I shrugged. “Just one of the little guys came to the kitchen window asking about his friend. He seemed pretty worried.”
“There may be nothing to it,” Will chimed in as he looked at each of the occupants of the table with a smile. I noticed a tension in the corners of his mouth that didn’t match his words. “The Tenky are known to wander even beyond the boundaries of my domain.”
