Yesterday he had scoured the forest closest to Hawkenlye Abbey, going back in his memories and seeking out all the places where he had ever known somebody to hide. He had wondered briefly about going to check in the area immediately around Joanna’s hut, probably the best hiding place of all, since even he, who was well aware of its existence and would have said he knew how to get there, quite often had a problem locating it. In the end, he didn’t bother. According to Helewise, Meggie had gone to the hut to fetch supplies, and he very much doubted it was the first time. If there had been any sign that someone had been there, she would have noticed and told him. He had found nothing and, as darkness fell and made further searching impossible, he had turned for home. This morning, with an eager Geoffroi by his side, he had been concentrating on the area further east, closer to the House in the Woods. Heartbreakingly, they had checked the camp where Ninian had briefly stayed last autumn, before he fled.
