"Started with something in passing, over her driving Iago t'loose the rest of his mind. Asked after that thinking there'd... may be there'd been trouble with work, was all I took it for, you see? And she grew shocked over Verdi not giving me trouble, and when I asked what'd been done, she..."
"The rest of his mind?" I say, and then Glass is gathering her thoughts again and continuing. My unease is hardening into worry, a feeling which gets worse as she goes on.
"Called her quick-changing, sweetness and light one moment and threatening t'take after all you care for the next. Warned me against going to the cellar--it's where Verdi brews,'ve never been, though Iago and Thomas go there often enough. And-- she was scattered, a little, you see? Said she'd no mind for what Verdi'd done t'him, but that he'd no problem with it, thought only she'n Thomas were misliking it. But she wasn't particular setting out whatever Iago's not minding. Not sure he told her the way of whatever it was exact, truly."
Things kept secret, and Lannie and Thomas afraid... Oh, I don't like this at all.
"Does Verdandi have some hold over Iago?" I ask. "Maybe she's some way of stopping him telling you more, because it seems so unlike him - you two seem to share everything."
