" I suppose I should feel guilty about you, Esca. For me, there has been the Eagle; but what had you to win in all this?'
Esca smiled at him, a slow, grave smile. There was a jagged tear in his forehead where a furze-root had caught him, Marcus noticed, but under it his eyes looked very quiet. 'I have been once again a free man among free men. I have shared the hunting with my brother, and it has been a good hunting.'
Marcus smiled back. 'It has been a good hunting,' he agreed. "
