Excerpt: (from Harrow, Chapter 3) Not long after Aurelius carelessly heaped their dishes in the sink for Tupper to wash, a rattle came from the direction of the courtyard. The merchant darted to the big double doors with impressive speed and was outside before Freydolf had closed his sketchbook. Moments later, he reappeared, hands clasped over his heart. “I hope you know that lad is a treasure beyond price!” With a slow blink, Frey answered, “Aye.” Hurrying over to grasp the other Pred by the shoulders, Aurelius exclaimed, “He is the uppermost of all underlings, a luminary among lackeys!” With a small shake to emphasize each accolade, he continued, “A superlative servant! A magnificent minion! A paragon among peons!” Chuckling over the man’s raptures, Freydolf asked, “What? Did he bring you a keg of spiced ale from Master Platt’s private cellars?” Momentarily distracted, Aurelius whispered, “Are there any left? That would be a find!” With a small tap, Tupper peeped around the edge of the door. “Are you helping, Aurelius? We’re ready.” “Aye!” the Pred sang out. “I am, and gladly!”
