e Council�察�Cenn�察�and now you're spreading that Coplin talk。 Well�察�you listen to me。 We have enough problems without 。。。;
       A quick tug at Rand's sleeve and a voice pitched low�察�for his ear alone�察�distracted him from the older men's talk。 ;e on�察�Rand�察�while they're arguing。 Before they put you to work。;
       Rand glanced down�察�and had to grin。 Mat Cauthon crouched beside the cart so Tam and Bran and Cenn could not see him�察�his wiry body contorted like a stork trying to bend itself double。
       Mat's brown eyes twinkled with mischief�察�as usual。 ;Dav and I caught a big old badger�察�all grouchy at being pulled out of his den。 We're going to let it loose on the Green and watch the girls run。 ;
       Rand's smile broadened�察�it did not sound as much like fun to him as it would have a year or two back�察�but Mat never seemed to grow up。 He took a quick look at his father ´ the men had their heads together still�察�all three talking at once ´ then lowered his own voice。 ;I promised to unload the cider。 I can meet you later�察�though。 ;
       Mat rolled his eyes skyward。 ;Toting barrels� �Burn me�察�I'd rather play stones with my baby sister。 Well�察�I know of better things than a badger。 We have strangers in the Two Rivers。 Last evening ´ ;
       For an instant Rand stopped breathing。 ;A man on horseback�拭─�he asked intently。 ;A man in a black cloak�察�on a black horse�拭�And his cloak doesn't move in the wind�拭�
       Mat swallowed his grin�察�and his voice dropped to an even hoarser whisper。 ;You saw him�察�too�拭�I thought I was the only one。 Don't laugh�察�Rand�察�but he scared me。;
       ;I'm not laughing。 He scared me�察�too。 I could swear he hated me�察�that he wanted to kill me。; Rand shivered。 Until that day he had never thought of anyone wanting to kill him�察�really wanting to kill him。 That sort of thing just did not happen in the Two Rivers。 A fistfight�察�maybe�察�or a wrestling match�察�but not killing。
       ;I don't know about hating�察�Rand�察�but he was scary enough anyway。 All he did was sit on his horse looking at me�察�just outside the village�察�but I've never been so frightened in my life。 Well�察�I looked away�察�just for a moment ´ it wasn't easy�察�mind you ´ then when I looked back he'd vanished。 Blood and ashes� �Three days�察�it's been�察�and I can hardly stop thinking about him。 I keep looking over my shoulder。; Mat attempted a laugh that came out as a croak。 ;Funny how being scared takes you。 You think strange things。 I actually thought ´ just for a minute�察�mind ´ it might be the Dark One。 ; He tried another laugh�察�but no sound at all came out this time。
       Rand took a deep breath。 As much to remind himself as for any other reason�察�he said by rote�察 �The Dark One and all of the Forsaken are bound in Shayol Ghul�察�beyond the Great Blight�察�bound by the Creator at the moment of Creation�察�bound until the end of time。 The hand of the Creator shelters the world�察�and the Light shines on us all。; He drew another breath and went on。 ;Besides�察�if he was free�察�what would the Shepherd of the Night be doing in the Two Rivers watching farm boys�拭�
       ;I don't know。 But I do know that rider was 。。。 evil。 Don't laugh。 I'll take oath on it。 Maybe it was the Dragon。;
       ;You're just full of cheerful thoughts�察�aren't you�拭─�Rand muttered。 ;You sound worse than Cenn。 ;
       ;My mother always said the Forsaken would e for me if I didn't mend my ways。 If I ever saw anybody who looked like Ishamael�察�or Aginor�察�it was him。 ;
       ;Everybody's mother scared them with the Forsaken�察─�Rand said dryly�察 �but most grow out of it。 Why not the Shadowman�察�while you're about it�拭�
       Mat glared at him。 ;I haven't been so scared since 。。。 No�察�I've never been that scared�察�and I don't mind admitting it。;
       ;Me�察�either。 My father thinks I was jumping at shadows under the trees。;
       Mat nodded glumly and leaned back against the cart wheel。 ;So does my da。 I told Dav�察�and Elam Dowtry。 They've been watching like hawks ever since�察�but they haven't seen anything。 Now Elam thinks I was trying to trick him。 Dav thinks he's down from Taren Ferry ´ a sheepstealer�察�or a chickenthief。 A chickenthief� ─�He lapsed into affronted silence。
       ;It's probably all foolishness anyway�察─�Rand said finally。 ;Maybe he is just a sheepstealer。; He tried to picture it�察�but it was like picturing a wolf taking the cat's place in front of a mouse hole。
       ;Well�察�I didn't like the way he looked at me。 And neither did you�察�not if how you jumped at me is any guide。 We ought to tell someone。;
       ;We already have�察�Mat�察�both of us�察�and we weren't believed。 Can you imagine trying to convince Master al'Vere about this fellow�察�without him seeing him�拭�He'd send us off to Nynaeve to see if we were sick。;
       ;There are two of us�察�now。 Nobody could believe we both imagined it。;
       Rand rubbed the top of his head briskly�察�wondering what to say。 Mat was something of a byword around the village。 Few people had escaped his pranks。 Now his name came up whenever a washline dropped the laundry in the dirt or a loose saddle girth deposited a farmer in the road。 Mat did not even have to be anywhere around。 His support might be worse than none。
       After a moment Rand said�察 �Your father would believe you put me up to it�察�and mine 。。。 ; He looked over the cart to where Tam and Bran and Cenn had been talking�察�and found himself staring his father in the eyes。 The Mayor was still lecturing Cenn�察�who took it now in sullen silence。
       ;Good morning�察�Matrim�察─�Tam said brightly�察�hefting one of the brandy casks up onto the side of the cart。 ;I see you've e to help Rand unload the cider。 Good lad。;
       Mat leaped to his feet at the first word and began backing away。 ;Good morning to you�察�Master al'Thor。 And to you�察�Master al'Vere。 Master Buie。 May the Light shine on you。 My da sent me to ´ ;
       ;No doubt he did�察─�Tam said。 ;And no doubt�察�since you are a lad who does his chores right off�察�you've finished the task already。 Well�察�the quicker you lads get the cider into Master al'Vere's cellar�察�the quicker you can see the gleeman。 ;
       ;Gleeman� ─�Mat exclaimed�察�stopping dead in his footsteps�察�at the same instant that Rand asked�察 �When will he get here�拭�
       Rand could remember only two gleemen ing into the Two Rivers in his whole life�察�and for one of those he had been young enough to sit on Tam's shoulders to watch。 To have one there actually during Bel Tine�察�with his harp and his flute and his stories and all 。。。 Emond's Field would still be talking about this Festival ten years off�察�even if there were not any fireworks。
       ;Foolishness�察─�Cenn grumbled�察�but fell silent at a look from Bran that had all the weight of the Mayor's office in it。
       Tam leaned against the side of the cart�察�using the brandy cask as a prop for his arm。 ;Yes�察�a gleeman�察�and already here。 According to Master al'Vere�察�he's in a room in the inn right now。 ;
       ;Arrived in the dead of night�察�he did。; The innkeeper shook his head in disapproval。 ;Pounded on the front door till he woke the whole family。 If not for Festival�察�I'd have told him to stable his own horse and sleep in the stall with it�察�gleeman or not。 Imagine ing in the dark like that。;
       Rand stared wonderingly。 No one traveled beyond the village by night�察�not these days�察�certainly not alone。 The thatcher grumbled under his breath again�察�too low this time for Rand to understand more than a word or two。 ;Madman; and ;unnatural。;
       ;He doesn't wear a black cloak�察�does he�拭─�Mat asked suddenly。
       Bran's belly shook with his chuckle。 ;Black� �His cloak is like every gleeman's cloak I've ever seen。 More patches than cloak�察�and more colors than you can think of。 ;
       Rand startled himself by laughing out loud�察�a laugh of pure relief。 The menacing black´clad rider as a gleeman was a ridiculous notion�察�but。。。 He clapped a hand over his mouth in embarrassment。
       ;You see�察�Tam�察─�Bran said。 ;There's been little enough laughter in this village since winter came。 Now even the gleeman's cloak brings a laugh。 That alone is worth the expense of bringing him down from Baerlon。 ;
       ;Say what you will�察─�Cenn spoke up suddenly。 ;I still say it's a foolish waste of money。 And those fireworks you all insisted on sending off for。;
       ;So there are fireworks�察─�Mat said�察�but Cenn went right on。
       ;They should have been here a month ago with the first peddler of the year�察�but there hasn't been a peddler�察�has there�拭�If he doesn't e by tomorrow�察�what are we going to do with them�拭�Hold another Festival just to set them off�拭�That's if he even brings them�察�of course。 ;
       ;Cenn;´Tam sighed´;You've as much trust as a Taren Ferry man。;
       ;Where is he�察�then�拭�Tell me that�察�al'Thor。;
       ;Why didn't you tell us�拭─�Mat demanded in an aggrieved voice。 ;The whole village would have had as much fun with the waiting as with the gleeman。 Or almost�察�anyway。 You can see how everybody's been over just a rumor of fireworks。;
       ;I can see�察─�Bran replied with a sidelong look at the thatcher。 ;And if I knew for sure how that rumor started 。。。 if I thought�察�for instance�察�that somebody had been plaining about how much things cost where people could hear him when the things are supposed to be secret 。。。 ;
