It was quite some time later when Henry made his way back up to the castle. He'd washed hands at the greenhouse pump, but he couldn't do anything about his dirty knees. It was no matter, anyway. He was as at peace as he was ever capable of being, and was determined to ask as soon as the first opportunity presented itself.
He ascended the stairs to his and Camilla's room firm and sure of purpose, and he unwarded the door and entered the room as quietly as he could. Now that he'd reached this decision--really reached it--he was oddly calm. It had always been so with him, even with Bunny's murder--to decide was to act, and to act was to move with utter assurance.
