"Um, good day, madam," said Theo. "A question, if I may: does anybody apart from you and Belboz live in these caves?" "Nope," responded Annabella. "Just Belby and me." "I see." She must be the one he'd come to rescue then. He had to admit he hadn't expected this. "And you are...?" "Annabella, his wife." "Annabella, of course! Then you... are precisely the person I came to find! Belboz sent me to collect you, as he has recently been called away on a long business trip. He wishes me to bring you to him, as he doesn't want to be away from you for so long." "Oh," said Annabella, whose hearing had gone out in the middle of the explanation. "What a nice young man you are." "Please, come with me. Time is of the essence." Annabella stood compliantly, with his help. Movement was not easy for her. This would be a problem. But after quite a long while of trying, he managed to load her onto his horse.
