Hollow-sky leaned over the table, placing his hand over

Goldmoon wanted very dearly to see this last page. She
wondered if Loreman had anticipated his two sons winning
today's contests, and if he had had to rewrite it. Hawker,
seated at his father's table, did not accept defeat graciously,
and did not bother to hide his scowl. Goldmoon was
suddenly very pleased that Riverwind had defeated him.
"We had best keep it from harm by storing it in your
lodge right away," her father suggested, and he abruptly
whisked the book out of her possession.

look at it further," Loreman argued.
"Forgive my haste, Loreman, but it may rain, and we
would not want it damaged," Arrowthorn replied in a tight,
