City beside a River part 4
Fal the man of steady hand,
Guen who killed the Sparrow
(A grisly ghoul who murdered men and drained them of their marrow)
Set to find
in Housemaids mind,
reason, fact and clue
but found her hanged
(by herself it seemed)
so to Mother-interview.
The woman wept.
and told of bats,
come hither up the wall.
She heard them in the drawing room,
they chased her down the hall.
"And Mary knew!"
"She did it's true!
then hanged herself in guilt"
" Here's the note on which wrote.
I found beneath her quilt"
Come on the nether wind
Come take the babe
Though the rift
Receive thine gift
I... Cilled.. me self...
Fal and Guen with a nod
left into the night
but stopped when they were certain that,
They were out of site.
and set up watch in an alley cross
from the home of the childs taking.
What was going on? they mused.
Elsewhere the night was waking.
