The duke brought his craft around toward the shield wall
His escort came down from circling stations took up oppositions above
And on both sides
Paul thought about what the deune man and kinds had said he sensed half truth outright lies the man on the sand had blided across the surface
So surely moving in a way
Obviously calculated to keep from learing the worm back out of its depth
Frama pausaud who else would be so sure on the sand
Who else might be left out of your waters as a matter
Of course
Because they are in no danger
They know how to live here
They know how to outtwit the worm
What were framon doing on that craeller
Paul asked kind's world
The all june man turned wide eyes on poor blue
Within blue
Within blue
Who be this lad
He asked heleck moved to place himself between the man and paul said this is poor a tradees
The duclelair why says he there were frereman on our rumbller
The man asked they fit the description
Paul said
Kinds snatted you can't tell framon just by looking at them
He looked at the doe man
You who were those men friends of one of the others
The june man said
Just friends from a village
Who wanted to see the spicer ands
Kinds turned away fremon
But he was remembering the words of the legend
The lisan a guy shall see through all subterfuge they be dead now most likely young swr
The june man said
We should not speak unkindly on them
But paul her the falsehood in their voices felt the menace that had brought halic instinctively into guarding position
Paul spoke drilly a terrible place for them to die without turning
Kinds said
When god has aldained a creature to die in a particular place
He cauus that creatures onants to direct him to that place later turned a hard stand at kind
And kinds returning the stair found himself troubled by a fact
He had observed here
This duke was concerned more over the men
Than he was over the spice
He risked his own life
And that of his son to save the men
He passed off the loss of a spice
Crareer with a gesture
The threat to man's lives had him in a age
A leader
Such as that would command fannetic loyalty
He would be difficult to defeat against his own will
And all previous judgments
Kinds admitted to himself
I like this duke greatness is a transitatory experience
It is never consistent
It depends in part upon the myth making imagination of human kind
The person who experiences his greatness must have a feeling for the myth
He is in
He must reflect what is projected upon him
And he must have a strong sense of the cdonic
This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretentions
The sadona gits all that permits him to move within himself
Without this quality
Even occasional greatness will destroy a man from collelected saof of more dedebut by the princess ielaln in the dining hall of the ariqe gregreat house
Suspenselams s been been lighted against the early dark
They cast their yellow glows upward onto the black bullls head with its bloody horns and under the dark ly glistening oil painting of the old duke beath
These talismans
White linn shwn around the burnished fleletions of the a traitdi's silver
Which have been placed in precise arrangements
Along the great table
Little archipellagoes of service waiting behind crystal glasses
Each setting squared off before a heavy wooden chair
The classic central chandelier remained unlighted
And its chain twisted upput into shadows
Where the mechanism of the poisoned snooper had been concealed pausing in the doorway to inspect the arrangements
The duke thought about the poisoned snooper and what had signified in his society all of a pattern
He thought you can promise by our language
The precise and delicate deliciations for ways to administer treturous death
Will someone try chow murie tonight poison in the drink
Or will it be chmas popoison in the food
He shook his head beside each played on the long tables to the flagin of water
There was enough water along the table of the due estimated to keep a poor arericane family for more than a year fllanking the doorway in which he stood were broad living basins of all neat yellow and green toil
Each basin had its rack of tows
It was was custom the housekeeper had explained for guests
As they ended to dip their hands sedemonmoniously into a basin slop several cups of water onto the floor
Dry their hands on a towel and flinging the tower into the growing puddle of the door
After the dinner beggars gathered outside to get the water squeezings from the towelers
How typical of a harcn and feef
The duke thought every degradation of the spirit that can be conceived
He took a deep breath feeling rage tighten his stomach
The customer stops here
He muttered
He saw a serving woman
One of the old and nouwled ones
The housekeeper had recommended hovering at the doorway from the kitchen
Across from him with the duke signalled with our praised hand removed out of the shadows
Scattered around the table to warard him
And he noted the lethery face the blue within blue eyes
My lord wishes she kept her head about eyes sheelded
He adgested how these basenons and toes removed
But no body born
She looked up mouth gaping
I know the custom
He about take these basenons to the front door
While we're eating
And until we finished each bigger who calls may have a full cup of water understood
Her livery face displayed a twisting of emotions dismay anger
