Inside the reticule are a small needle, a small pair of scissors, a loop of elastic, a ball of beeswax, and one length of pink silk thread. You bounce around on the floor of the carriage. THE SACK Taken. The tiny shears slowly cut a long rip in the sack. You slip out of the sack.
Countryside flies past the partly open window.
You are in a small, cushioned carriage. There is a door to the east. Just then, the carriage lurches to a halt. Someone climbs from the driver's seat above you. Through it you can see a dark ruin of a house, one light burning at the door.
