Faile shook her head "It bothers Perrin when people think he did so as the Whitecloaks continue to insist he is abullheaded and foolish, but there was a nobility about it

As she always did when they discussed the Whitecloaks, Berelain got a strange look in her eyes, and she glanced--perhaps unconsciously--in the direction their aro speak to them? She had come up with a dozen different reasons why she wanted to

Faile noticed a large group of soldiers trying to look inconspicuous as they rounded the inside of the cauards on their pro Lord Captain Co in that white uniforet past that sunburst on his cloak Such a beautiful ly, warase’s stepson was a handsomeso…pristine"

"Like a statue carved froends A perfect thing left behind For us to worship"

"He’s passable," Faile said with a sniff "I prefer a bearded face, myself"

"So what do we do?" Alliandre asked as they rounded the south side of the camp, halfway to the point from which they’d started

"About the Whitecloaks?" Faile asked

"About Maighdin," Alliandre said "Morgase"

Faile didn’t reply She’d been thinking about what Perrin said, and he was probably right Faile should not be so angry with her If Morgase really had been fleeing one of the Forsaken, it was a miracle that she was still alive Besides, she herself had lied about who she hen first ase was going to judge Perrin She presurateful, but Morgase the Queen would see Perrin as a rival Would Morgase really treat this judgment fairly, or would she take the chance to discredit a man who had raised himself up as a lord?
