Milky played absently. and lost the

hands In his pockets. There was
something on his mind which the
chancellor's refc nee to Hedwig's pic

"She's a very nice GIRL" he said: II

There was something Of reproach in
his tone. He had confidently planned
that Milky would marry Hedwig. and
that they could all live on forever In
the palace. But. the way things wero
going, Milky might marry anybody,
