"I believe you wanted this", Louis said handing over the book she had been reading.
"Yes, of course", she said.
She finally took all her books to the horse shed. Louis followed her with his own stack.
"What were you asking about that she did not understand?", he asked catching up to her.
"I was asking her about the books we had read. I fumbled when I got excited and spoke too rapidly. I believe you overheard that too.", she snapped.
"Of all people I would expect to fumble, the one who knew as many languages as the number of kingdoms would be last on my list."
Elizabeth froze. Had he heard her speaking the ancient tongue?
"Did you hear the question I asked her?", she said, looking directly up to him.
"No", he replied. There was no sign of dishonesty on his face and Elizabeth believed him.
