Don't go!" Rycca said urgently. "It's a trap."
Her husband looked down at her with amusement. "Of course it's a trap, sweetling.There are a dozen men out there.They assume they've got us neatly caught."
"You could be killed before anyone got near enough to stop them."
He shook his head. "I'm not going to be killed.But I am going to get Wolscroft to talk.It's the only way." He turned toward the door,turned back,and said, "Do not, under any circumstances, even think about so much as poking a finger outside.Do you understand?"
Every obedient,Rycca nodded.
Again he turned to go,again he looked back. "Let me rephrase that.Do you promise me you won't come outside until I tell you to?"
Her reponse was a glare but she followed it with a nod.
If nothing else,this husband of hers was learning caution,which was all the good since he surely had need of it.
