CHAPTER 9
George and the others followed Rhodri as he led Mag to the room Rhys called the conservatory. This occupied the corner of one long wing and was generally used for games and recreation in the summer time, a place where people could gather informally.
It was little occupied in the winter because of the chill of its many windows and George hadn’t had an occasion to use it before on his two previous visits. The external double doors faced the front of the manor but the terraces were not joined directly, only connected by a walkway. Watching from behind as Mag negotiated the snowy path, George could make no sense of her undercarriage, whatever it was that propelled her along. The blur left on the ground after her passage was no help either.
She paused while Rhodri opened the doors.
