Out of old sweet habit, Lin stuck her hand in her left…
““Out of old sweet habit, Lin stuck her hand in her left pocket, and that's when she found it. "Oh, very clever," she whispered. "One point to Rufus of Rosenquist." In her palm, she held her cardigan drawstring, still damp from the snow, still tied into a twice-bound knot. The troll-hunter signal for "I am here." Lin tucked it back into her pocket, smiling to herself. Whatever happened she would not be alone.””
