A DIALOGUE OF SILENCE
Sibilla finally admitted that she had taken dye from Berta’s workshop and given it to Fiz. Fiz was faced with the accusation of having polluted the font at Saint-Barthelmy. He was entirely unperturbed. When Guilhem-the-Smith asked him, very puzzled, why Sibilla had not told anyone before this, Fiz explained, still unworried, that, “I threatened to tell all her secrets.”
“We all know her secrets anyway. We’ve all had goods in pawn to her, too,” someone said. Fiz was happily unrepentant, but said, “I didn’t turn all that other water blue. That wasn’t me. I wish I knew how. We just changed the holy water.”
Back in the caves, by a happy coincidence, the team suffered a briefing session about the local water systems. The chart of the blue dye and its reaches was shown.
