"I'm just saying, I know how these things get told. You know kings have

logic." Yes, by now it's a familiar argument, and Bahorel's letting up too,

those eyes! --Everyone had something like that, the first village we came
to, everyone had whiskers; it must be very easy there to know where a man's
from! --Except us, everyone marked us out as strangers right off, hah,not
much chance of avoiding that! But it was good, it was good, it made sure no
one thought we stood with their rivals. -- Here's that first village, from
a month or so before. -- I told everyone we were from Carabas, to keep
things from spilling back over, you know. The law's the law even if there's
magic about it, and the law doesn't need to have a true name off us any
day."
