was　being　allowed　to　drive　through。

〃Alice；〃　I　whispered　urgently。

〃I　know；〃　she　said。　Her　face　was　chiseled　from　ice。

Now　that　I　was　looking；　and　we　were　crawling　slowly　enough　to　see；　I　could

tell　that　it　was　very　windy。

The　people　crowding　toward　the　gate　gripped　their　hats　and　tugged　their　hair

out　of　their　faces。　Their

clothes　billowed　around　them。　I　also　noticed　that　the　color　red　was

everywhere。　Red　shirts；　red　hats；　red

flags　dripping　like　long　ribbons　beside　the　gate；　whipping　in　the　wind—as　I

watched；　the　brilliant　crimson

scarf　one　woman　had　tied　around　her　hair　was　caught　in　a　sudden　gust。　It

lost。〃

〃Palazzo　dei　Priori；　Palazzo　dei　Priori；〃　I　repeated　the　name　over　and　over

again；　trying　to　get　it　down。

〃Or　'the　clock　tower；'　if　they　speak　English。　I'll　go　around　and　try　to　find　a

secluded　spot　somewhere

behind　the　city　where　I　can　go　over　the　wall。〃

I　nodded。　〃Palazzo　dei　Priori。〃

〃Edward　will　be　under　the　clock　tower；　to　the　north　of　the　square。　There's　a

narrow　alleyway　on　the

right；　and　he'll　be　in　the　shadow　there。　You　have　to　get　his　attention　before
