[ Alexandrie had, as promised, Not Been There when Kitty had gone to meet this Mandrake fellow. She had instead been a spot of white against the darker stone of the Gallows courtyard steps, looking very much as if she were reading the book in her hands.
She had instead been watching the proceedings through her eyelashes, waiting for any sign that it would be a better use of her time to toss the book aside and instead set her hands on one--or more--of the blades secreted beneath the heavy folds of her gown. Mercifully, that had been unnecessary, and she is still holding the slim volume when she glides across the courtyard to speak with Kitty in the aftermath. ]
Ah, Kitty! How fortunate. I was about to take tea, and I should greatly enjoy your company if you have the time for it.
